thank u so much for coming to check out the video for my new song Expectations Suck!!! I wrote this in July 2021 after I'd been in Auckland for 3 months, having just moved out of home to a new city for the first time. Things weren't really going how I'd planned and I found myself stuck in my hopso job, feeling frustrated and annoyed that I wasn't able to find a job related to music. I was feeling all this pressure from what I thought my parents, friends and society expected of me, it started to eat away at my self worth. I met my producer and now good friend Joel Jones during this time, and making this song with him in our first session together reignited my passion and love for music. It filled me with so much purpose. This is a song for my friends and I, to know we are never alone in the uphill battle of navigating our own goals and aspirations. It's hard out here, but we have to support and uplift each to get through it all. I was lucky enough to get funding for this song, and even make a super cool video !! so much of it is taken from my real life and im really proud of it! hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:
I never knew homesick till now 
22 and I’ve just moved out 
I’m feeling stuck and I’m hating my life 
it’s like I’m locked in a room, with no way out 

I hate my job because it’s always the same 
standing around, making coffee all day
I never see the sun, till it’s fading away 
can someone give me a key?
or this doors gonna break 

yeah, it’s hard out here 
and the weather is weird 
but my best friends are here 
so, I ‘ma give it a year 

No, I’m not the only one, 
feeling like this 
Expectations stuck 
I am in a rut 

no, I’m not the only one, 
feeling like shit 
it’s hard for me to stay
but there’s just no other way
to make it work 

I don’t know what’s, fake or real 
It’s been 3 months,
and I’m starting to feel like 
Il be ok, I have my days 
Starting a 5, yeah
cried on the train,
borderline played
but nobody cares 

yeah, it’s hard out here 
and the weather is weird 
but my best friends are here 
say goodbye to the tears 

No, I’m not the only one, 
feeling like this
Expectations Stuck 
I am in a rut 

no, I’m not the only one, 
feeling like shit 
it’s hard for me to stay
but there’s just no other way
to make it work 

Try'na find the space to put myself first 
I just need some time to make it worth it 
so, I don’t end up feeling super worthless
need to make it work, to feel worth it 

Are we just the only ones
feeling like this?
It’s hard to make a change
but I’ve got to find a way
to make it work
