I might be making this up but...

Sara Bareilles was asked by her record label to write a love song because back in the 2000s, radio friendly love songs were all the rage. She was like “oh no problem, I got you” and wrote the song Love Song which lyrically throws up on her record label, telling them she isn’t beat for their shit and she’s not going to comply. That song has been in my internal jukebox for years, mainly because the story behind it is epic.

Here’s the thing: I don’t know if actually happened. There are conflicting stories swirling around about the origin of the song but legit, I don’t care. The story of Sara giving a melodic fuck you to her label and going platinum for it, is everything. It inspires me to stay my path even if others don’t understand or try to lure me down another. It brings me back to the importance of trusting the internal compass, even when everyone externally is saying or doing the opposite.

She brings the song down by belting “If your heart is nowhere in it, I don't want it for a minute”

I feel you a 100%, Sara Bareilles. I’m too human for that.
