“Chewed Up” follows “Starchild” and is musically much more in-your-face. Sort of like the intrusive thoughts that keep you up wide-eyed in bed at night. Different from the opening track, “Chewed Up” is a plea to say what I mean and to ask for what I want. To make that step in the direction of valuing my own self worth and pulling out of my personal downfall. The hard part is- when the moment comes, can you speak up?”
Sweet Pill’s Zayna Youssef Shares of new music:
“The EP Starchild as a whole takes an introspective look at battling anxieties, your inner voice, and the world that always seems so against you. “Where The Heart Is” was written when I as well as Jayce, Ryan, Chris, and Sean were discovering life after college. We were existing in such a transitional time full of big changes. Personally, this EP is a reflection of where these changes have brought me: Overworked and unsure of myself and what matters anymore. The song “Starchild” is an ode to selling myself short and not valuing my own self worth. I’m at a time in my life where I find myself “people pleasing” everyone but myself. Then I’m burdened with the pressure of letting everyone down. Ultimately, that leads to my own personal downfall."
