For the past month, Anna Of The North’s “Leaning On Myself” has been at full volume here at TDL. After swooning over the singer’s 2017 debut album, Lovers, we are so ready for this next chapter of music!
“Leaning On Myself” is an empowering anthem of self-reliance with a killer sonic twist; a minor departure from what we’re used to from the singer, and something we hope to hear more of. Blast this for when you need a confidence boost.
“I remember flying home from the States where we wrote it and I started crying,” Anna shared. “I kind of realized I’d written the soundtrack of my life one year ago. There was a point in where I went through a lot of shit and I wasn’t feeling very well.”
“I had one big breakdown where I called my mom and just knew I had to change my ways,” she confides. “I had to cut some people out of my life, people I loved but I knew weren’t really good for me. It was tough. But I’m good now. Every time I listen to this song it takes me back to that moment. It’s fucking sad but also powerful. I’m very grateful for where I am today. In the end you only have yourself, you know, and I guess that’s OK.”
