aimée-leigh has just announced her next single ‘Driving Myself Sane’ which comes out on 6th September 2024! Read what she has to say about it here:
"I am so excited to finally share this song with the world. I started writing this one over a year ago, after a moment in my life that should have been so insignificant but unexpectedly became pertinent for me. I was driving late one night, after having recently come home from a long travelling holiday which commenced immediately after finishing my last exam for university. In this moment, it suddenly hit me that that part of my life was actually over, and I hadn't had any time to process that properly whilst travelling. This was a time in my life that was so mentally and physically draining in more ways than one, and I genuinely think I got through by just living in autopilot. I became so overwhelmed with emotion as I started to process the next chapter of my life, and what I could do with my life now that university is done, and I felt a profound sense of freedom. The roads were completely empty, I felt alone but in a good way, I turned my music up full volume on the motorway as ‘Due Vite’ by Marco Mengoni played (which was a song I felt really attached to during that time) and the emotions took over as I just started crying uncontrollably. When I reached my destination I was calm again, and went inside as if it never happened, but I knew. I knew I needed to write a song to remember that moment by, and so began the creation of ‘Driving Myself Sane’.
Throughout my most difficult times in life, I have always used driving as a form of therapy; listening to music, being with my own thoughts, spending time with myself to really make sure I am grounded and in tune with my feelings. For anyone who watched my old YouTube videos, you will remember my ‘drive with me’ content which I loved making. When I think about it, driving has been a big part of my adult life for so many other reasons that I won't go into, and I felt like it was a good theme for my first personal release. That’s what this song represents for me. I see the song as being in two parts; there’s the first part, which embodies that time in my life where I essentially felt numb, it then starts to transition in the second verse and eventually leads to that moment where my perspective on life shifted, which is encapsulated by the bridge in the second part of the track. It’s my most vulnerable release to date, it’s personal, and it means so much to me. It’s been a long time coming as I needed it to be perfect, and after 14 months in the making, I can’t wait for you to now get to hear it in its entirety."
