Charlotte Morris is gearing up to release her new album "Both Sides" on May 1st and previewed the release with her new single "Created Me". To celebrate we asked her to tell us about the new song. Here is the story:
I wrote "created me" as a personal exploration of my identity and heritage, thinking through and reflecting on all of the things, little and big, that make me me. The inspiration struck when I read something online about all of the small things that are passed down through generations. I'm talking like, the way you tap your fingers on the steering wheel when driving because that's what your dad did; or putting the toilet paper over or under (it's obviously over) because of how your parents and grandparents always did it. I wish I had saved the post - at this point I don't even remember if it was on Instagram or Threads or even like, a repost of a repost of a repost from Reddit, hah! But it made me realize that so many aspects of who I am in my day-to-day, who we all are, come from those who came before us. It's not just the big things like our DNA (duh)... but our ancestors truly shape us in ways we don't even always realize, from traditions to the smallest quirks. This reflection became the foundation for "created me." (continue)
