The inspiration for this song was taken from some of my deepest insecurities. I have had people close to me say that I’m not doing enough, and I’m not good enough, etc. This song also reflects on the fear that everyone sees all of the parts of yourself that you would like to hide, and I just really felt like I needed to be different than who I really am and change myself to fit everyone’s expectations. This song is an inward questioning, asking how can I make myself fit better into society and make myself more or less like everyone else. After writing this song, I’ve decided I am happy with who I am, and that people shouldn’t define my self-worth. People still say these things to me from time to time, but after all, who truly cares what people think about you? If you’re happy with who you are, that’s all that matters. When society moves forward in a hundred years from now, no one will remember that you might not have been good enough, but if you make a lasting impression on the earth, people will remember those lives that you may have made better, and they will remember how you tried to be something great. ~Sabrina
This song came from a very traumatic experience I had when I was younger. A few years ago; I dealt with a lot of online bullying from this one girl who was in the same class as me. At the time, I thought we were friends. But then we ended up having a crush on the same guy, and it all went downhill from there. The inspiration for the title and overall theme of this song was when she sent a text, asking if I was coming to class that weekend. But she did not ask nicely. She asked, “Are you coming to class tomorrow, or what?” I hope this song releases awareness for bullying, and I hope it makes you feel less alone. It gets better, you just have to keep fighting.

This song came from my fantasies about my favorite ship in Stranger Things, Mike and Will. I remember having the idea for this song after tap class, just jotting down a few lyrics of what ended up being the chorus, and then leaving the dance studio. One of my favorite things about this song is that even though it is about two specific people, anybody can relate to it. It was so fun getting to write this and put all of the Byler references in there. There were so many more I wanted to add, but I think it turned out exactly how it should be, and if you love Byler, you will love finding all of the references in this song. I know I do! I hope you like this song, I truly do, and I hope this song becomes one of your favorites and holds a special place in your heart.
