The breakup catalyzing "Myself" is intentionally left vague. In the debut single from Georgi Clarke, the Cheshire-based singer/songwriter is more focused on asserting her self-assurance than wallowing in the past. Pulling from the styles club and disco, "Myself" is an infectious and extremely danceable pop track serving as a mantra. The attention and space she gives to her own self-love in lieu of the loss of a connection proves to be a productive and mature process of healing. The result is more than just a "glass-half-full" perspective: it's an artist taking control of her narrative.
The prechorus is a lyrical slight-of-hand. "I found someone to love who never let me down," implies a fresh relationship, getting over an ex with someone new. Before the chorus breaks through, however, she reveals the truth. "I choose myself / I love myself." It is on this level of sincere appreciation for herself that Clarke's lyricism can feel personally revelatory. Informed by a culture obsessed with finding esteem and security in a significant other, she constructs a refreshing alternative that critiques this custom merely by holding a mirror up to it.
Georgi Clarke is a 20 year old singer/songwriter from Cheshire. Her talent as a multi-instrumentalist and musical arranger led her to release "Myself" as her debut single.

The danceable pop music soundtracks her positive lyrics meant to uplift listeners.
