It’s funny how you can confide in people you believe are trustworthy, but once the hardships come into play they turn on you. Every fragile piece of yourself is fair game to break in their eyes despite knowing you’d never do the same. It makes us guarded and while that can be scary, it can be empowering learning to keep parts of yourself out of reach to those who don’t deserve it. EMME’s new song “Ammunition” is all about this story of betrayal. She stated she wrote this song when a friend weaponized her secrets and her active choice to take the high road. It’s a chill indie pop track built on chugging electric guitars and raw honesty. If you’ve been burned by broken trust, “Ammunition” is the song for you.
“Ammunition” by EMME is not just a song about misplaced loyalty, but an anthem to always take the high road. People who hurt us only do so because they thrive on misery. It’s a sad life to live and at the end of it all, they’re only hurting themselves. “Between you and me there’s a difference, I kept my ammunition.” Even when you have every reason and every weapon at your disposal to hit someone where they hit you, it’s always best to walk away. There’s so much joy to be found in letting go of pain you never deserved. EMME created this song as a message to never let anyone drag you down to their level. Be the bigger person.
EMME is a singer-songwriter known for her hooky pop melodies and relatable story-telling. I have been listening to her for a bit now and I always adore her raw honesty in her lyricism. Watching her solo artist journey unfold has been inspiring. EMME originally started out her career writing for artists such as JORDY, Tritonal, Grace VanderWaal, etc. In 2022 her debut single “Valley Girl” was released and that put her on the path to finding her individual artistry. “Ammunition” is not only the title of this track, but the title of her new EP. It’s such a beautiful project all around so I encourage you to take 14 minutes of your day to listen to EMME’s work. Follow the links down below to stay up to date on her future releases.
