A single from the seventh album ALICIA, released in January 2020, this pop-leaning R&B number was co-written with Ed Sheeran and others.

It’s an anthem dedicated to “underdogs” who strive in the shadows—people working on society’s margins, migrant workers, single mothers—offering encouragement to those whose efforts often go unseen.

Built around a simple, piano-centered arrangement, its message—find your voice, recognize your power, and overcome adversity—truly resonates.

The music video portrays ordinary people working through financial hardship, visually reinforcing the song’s theme.

Performed at the 2020 Grammy Awards with Brittany Howard and later certified platinum, it’s a work that gives courage to all of us who face our jobs every day, urging us to walk with pride no matter our position.

The New Zealand-born flagbearer of alternative pop, Benee, released a new song in October 2025 as the lead single from her eagerly awaited second album, “Ur An Angel I’m Just Particles.” The track explores the gap between outward lightness and inner heaviness, featuring an experimental sound marked by glitchy sonics and hyperpop-tinged flourishes.

Feelings of loneliness—like tears turning into a river that still means nothing—and the pain of being misunderstood are delicately conveyed through dreamy synths and ambient textures.

To celebrate the album, which took about three years to make, a live performance is planned at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.

It’s a song that gently resonates with anyone struggling with the disconnect between appearance and emotion, or navigating opaque, uncertain days.

Portraying the strength and inner turmoil of confronting the adversities of modern society, this piece will resonate with any listener standing at a crossroads in life.
