Here’s some things you need to know about “Hit Me With Your Love,” as told by Anna herself.
Share the story behind “Hit Me With Your Love” and how it came together!
This song was written by Louis Bell and Michael Africk, so I wasn’t super involved with the initial creative process. But when I heard the song, aside from being so catchy, I resonated with the lyrics and then added my Japanese lyrics to help tell the story in some of my own words. To me, “Hit Me With Your Love” embodies the strength of a woman who knows what she’s worth. Your actions have to speak louder than your words. If you want to be in my life, you have to show me you’re worth my time! I think a lot of people can relate to a song like this at some point in their life.
How has being trilingual influenced your songwriting process?
Being trilingual has influenced my songwriting process by enabling me to understand different phrases in different languages. Being able to do that helps me to see what fits best for the message I want to convey.
Who are some artists that you currently look up to?
Ariana Grande has always been my idol and inspiration, as well as Taylor Swift and Madison Beer.
What has been your proudest moment of your career so far?
One of my proudest moments of my career was when I got to work with Fendi Japan, and I had the opportunity to wear their clothes for my first music video.
