After a break-up, it is hard to be optimistic about the future. The aching feeling in your chest may lead you to believe that there is no hope for the future. That maybe you are just destined to be by yourself for the rest of your life. In Zoë Ferguson’s latest single, “Die Alone”, she addresses these feelings. After a long relationship ended, she wrote this song to cope with the heartbreak and loneliness she was experiencing. The powerful lyrics reveal the self-doubts she was facing after the break-up. She hates every boy she has ever met and is starting to believe that she is destined to die alone. She questions if she is “being too dramatic” and her father claims she is “acting too erratic”. She recognizes that she is being irrational and letting her anxiety get the best of her, but she cannot help but think these negative thoughts. Ferguson wrote “Die Alone” in a very vulnerable time of her life and writing it was a cathartic experience. She successful penned a single that listeners can relate to and feel less alone.
