Setting to the tone with layered guitar riffs and vocal details, FOLEY opens his single Disappointed with the situational lyrics, “Eighteen, I thought I had it figured out…” as the song goes on to deliver a narrative of alternative life choices and the repercussions of being your true self.

Speaking on the meaning of Disappointed, FOLEY confesses, “The whole concept around the song is based off the idea that I never chose the normal life path that most of our parents would like us to take.”

The rising artist from Los Angeles continues, “I’ve lived a very non-conventional lifestyle that has been hard for my family to deal with and I’m sure sometimes they wish I chose a safer career. But at the end of the day through all struggle and disappointment I know I’m happy with what I’m doing and would do it again in a heartbeat.”

We love the dimensionality and intricacy of the production, in cohesive harmony with FOLEY‘s message and stand out lyrics such as the empowering “So I’ll be who I am, even if they never understand…”
