I'm really excited that this song is out! It feels like the perfect last track of the album, and it promotes self-love in a way that I'm really proud of. I've had some people tell me it's their favorite song of mine so far, and that makes me so happy.

"Blazer Days" is all about learning to love yourself through loving someone else. I'm hoping that listeners can relate this to their lives and experiences and remember that they are incredible when they're being their most authentic selves. There's something so empowering about feeling loved enough to let your true colors show.

Would you say that "Blazer Days" was inspired by real events going on in your life? Where do you receive most of your inspiration and influence when it comes to writing your music?

Some of my inspiration comes from real-life experiences that I've had while other songs are inspired by ideas or the lives of others. "Blazer Days" is about my journey with self-love and learning to accept the love that is given to me. It's not about anyone specific, it's about everyone who has supported me and allowed me to be my true self throughout my life.

How does "Blazer Days" compare to past music you've released? How was it transitioning into more of a pop sound with this single?

This song is much more pop than anything on my previous album "The Bliss You Missed." As for my new album "Reclaiming," this single fits right in and feels like the perfect way to close the album. Its huge pop energy reminds me of how I'm growing as an artist. I'm really proud of this track and can't wait to keep evolving in this indie-pop direction!
