roses are pink, my heart was blue
poems were sad, until I found you

I do not think we have ever before had a Disney live action redux, as much debated about as “The Little Mermaid”.
Ariel has always been my favourite princess, mostly because of her story - that she’s a dreamer, a risk taker, and her longing to be a “part of that world” moves me on a deep emotional level. What she looks like (ethnicity, hair or skin colour, waist size) never mattered to me. She’s Ariel because of THAT story and THAT message. Even we, as human beings (not fantasy mermaids), are made up of OUR stories (not our skin colour, not our appearance, outer shell or size).
So I think it is sad that people fail to see that THAT is the message of “The Little Mermaid”. It is about acceptance. It is about breaking boundaries between worlds. It is about allowing someone to just be - to listen to WHO THEY ARE INSIDE, and not restrict another to a specific zone just because of “how they look” (fins or feet, black or white)…
If you still fail to see beyond Ariel’s appearance, then you never truly understand Ariel or the story or the message and everything this beautiful tale stands for.

This is one of those songs where I imagined a character full of regret. She stalks her first love on social media, while she is stuck in the same town, dissatisfied with how her life turned out. These lines are from the bridge, where the past is finally revealed - what drove their young love apart, and how it faded over distance and time.

“So Secure” ironically is about a person who is largely insecure about a relationship. Her security is anchored on one person, and so she constantly lives in fear of losing that person. The song ends with this final line, summarizing her thirst for assurance… Constantly hoping somehow for the other person to respond to her unspoken fears and neediness.

I wrote this when I was only fifteen, and thought it was cute poetry.💖 Just another tale of unrequited love.
It was the supposed single for our girl band’s supposed second album. For more stories about my teen years in a girl band, watch “I Grew Up In A Girl Band” on my IG or TikTok: nikkapaloma

I wrote this song at a time when I was figuring out where I was in life. I knew in my spirit that somehow the pains were necessary before I could unlock the wings I need to fly. There are gems to be found in the rockiest and lowest points of our journey. Gold is often found underground. Before we can rise up, we need to have the right attitude even in the lowest times, and that is never easy. But that is also what faith is - dancing even when we are broken.

Sometimes when I write songs, I like to create stories and characters outside of my comfort zone. “Not Much Of An Angel” is a story where the protagonist is also a villainess. This song is like the “bad guy” speech in movies where she illustrates how her past led her to making bad decisions. It is revealed that she was a victim of a narcissist player that broke her heart - a heart that was once innocent and trusting. She returns looking and acting like a different person, with a revenge plot in mind.
