Check out the new music video for “Baby I’m A Queen.” Steeped in raucous guitars and anthemic lyricism, the track is a full-blown hands in the air tune that’s ready to jump start your weekend. The song was written about embracing tumultuousness and vulnerability. “Just because you are vulnerable, doesn’t mean you have to let yourself be belittled or infantilized (why is “baby” the default nickname?)” the band says of the song. “We are strong and empowered because we cry, because we desire, and because of what is chaotic about us. This song is about standing up as strong and powerful, because of that courage to share ourselves. It’s about being both a baby and a queen at the same time. ”
