Emalia

‘On Your Own’ was co-written by Emalia and Australian song-writer/producer Adam Reily in 2016. The Pop/RnB record tells the story of a cheating partner and explains the emotional journey and thought-processes a person might go through after experiencing such a betrayal.

Emalia takes the listener right into the centre of the narrative through her powerful, emotionally raw lyrics and soulful sound. Although there is an undeniable aspect of vulnerability and helplessness in her words, Emalia encourages her audience to stay strong in hard times, with themes of empowerment and self-love prevalent in the lyrics as she sings, “Showed no respect for the love I gave… Go, you’re on your own”.

The track features strong 90’s and 2000’s RnB throwbacks, nodding to the likes of Destiny’s Child and Aaliyah, which ties in nicely with Emalia’s own original modern-pop spin.

EMALIA DIRECT QUOTE

“On Your Own’ was probably one of the fastest songs I have ever written. We started building the beat and from there the lyrics and melody just flowed out of me. I really wanted to create something raw. Although the song explores quite a vulnerable time that many people experience, I mainly wanted to inspire others that they are strong enough to get through it. I want people to know that they don’t have to accept being treated so badly, and to value themselves enough to move away from something, or someone, so toxic. I wanted to journey through the betrayal and heartbreak, to a place where you come out stronger and more self- assured – realising and knowing that you are worthy. That’s the underlying message in the song – empowerment through crisis.”
