Singer Sonia Rao dropped the music video for her single “You Say I” off her upcoming “Los Angeles” album. It’s a personal song about self-worth and not letting others bring in thoughts of insecurity and self-doubt. Believe in yourself and surround yourself with supporting people, especially in relationships. Sonia states, “the song is so close to my heart and so many of my close friends, fellow artists, and homies from The Voice are in this video.” Look for cameos from Melissa Polinar, Connie Lim, Dia Frampton, and more.

You Say I by Sonia Rao

Lyrics to You Say I by Sonia Rao

You say I don’t speak the truth
You say I don’t care for you
You say I don’t know myself like you

You say I am too afraid
To live by the words I say
That I am more ideals than action

You say I talk too loud
That I’m hiding behind sound
That the thoughts I call my own are from without

So what if it’s true
So what if it’s true

You called me ugly I believed you
You made me feel like I was beneath you
You broke me down till I was nothing but air

You say I can write my songs
I can sing them all night long
Till my face turns blue this earth still burns

You remind me of its pain
Of my indifference you’re ashamed
How I can write my silly songs and still
Look you in the eye

So what if they’re true
So what if they’re true

You called me ugly I believed you
You made me feel like I was beneath you
You broke me down till I was nothing but air

You called me empty I believed you
You made me crawl out from underneath you
You broke me down till I was nothing but air

And though I know flawed as I may be
I know it’s you, you who are unhappy
This morning while the coffee brewed
I made plans to leave you
And all at once, I felt lighter than air

Baby it’s true
Baby it’s true

You called me ugly I believed you
You made me feel like I was beneath you
You broke me down till I was nothing but air

You called me empty I believed you
You made me crawl out from underneath you
You broke me down till I was nothing but air
You broke me down till I was nothing but air
Now I feel like I am walking on air
