Aside

"Congrats," I smile - while the darkness inside me spirals.

This debut single unleashes the raw determination of taking on the theme song contest for the reality audition show "The Open Call."

Driven by a piercing, melancholy piano and heavy harmonies, this is a dark, fast-paced pop anthem. It strips away all the fake positivity to expose the brutal reality of being trapped behind a forced smile-consumed by intense jealousy and self-loathing while watching a rival take the spotlight.

If you've ever compared yourself to others and felt like a background extra in your own life, this song is for you. It captures the messy, dirt-under-the-fingernails journey of fighting through "miscast emotions" to finally stand up and declare: "I'm done living a life of regret."

Mirroring the onscreen battle, this is the ultimate anthem for anyone chasing their dreams right now.
