Wafia just dropped her new single “Pick Me” – a feel good track we all needed in our lives right now!
The song came about after Wafia exited a bad relationship. She says, “The break up period dragged out way more than it needed to but in all of our angry calls and texts I came to see how much he resented me and my career. The version of me he wanted was meek, obedient, not muslim and a lot less ambitious. We worked on my music together but the better my music would do, the tighter he’d hold on. This song really isn’t about him though. There was a version of me that existed last year that was really almost prepared to be what he wanted just to stop the fights and the yelling. I’m not proud of that. Then I caught a glimpse of what that would look like 20 or even 5 years down the track and I knew how miserable and resentful I’d be. I didn’t want that for him but most of all for myself. Love shouldn’t make you pick like that and if it does, it’s not the right one.”
AMEN TO THAT!
“Pick Me” follows the release of “Flowers & Superpowers“, which was Wafia’s debut on Atlantic Records. Even though she’s social distancing, she’s still being creative and collaborating with others. The single artwork was created by fellow recording artist Lil Halima, and the lyric video for “Pick Me” was made by Wafia’s little sister. Check it out here!
