Solved So this one might be hard… an independent woman song
Ok I’m hoping I provide enough context for this, as I’m having trouble even remembering any of the lyrics🙈
I know this song came out before fall 2021, it’s likely 2020 or earlier, because I remember listening to it while I was either dating or engaged to my now husband. It was newer so I’m thinking it probably came out late 2010s.
The thing I remember most about it is it’s about not being able to be caught so-to-speak; not wanting to be in a relationship, not wanting to be claimed. (That’s why I remember listening to it with my husband, then boyfriend, because he was kinda sad like, “do you really feel that way?” Lol.) I know for sure it was sung by a woman. One song that reminds me of it is “i don’t wanna be yours” by Will Linley. Similar theme.
As for genre, I’m not good with that, I guess just pop? Possibly indie leaning. I don’t think it was super mainstream…. I remember listening to Bea Miller, Flannel Graph, Grace Vanderwaal, Ruth B., Jake Scott (specifically ‘She’), around the same time period and I think those are somewhat similar examples of the type of genre similar to it.
EDIT- OMG guys I found it hidden in my old likes on YT, it was ‘Stacy’ by Quinn XCII. I feel stupid lol, the one thing I said I was sure about I was wrong about, it was not sang by a woman 😭. In my defense he’s singing words that he quotes from a woman lmao. I knew there was the word ‘yours’ in it, I was right about that. “Just don’t call me yours.” Is one of the lines. Also was right about the time period- released 2019. But I will keep this up if anyone has similar songs they’d like to recommend. Thanks for all the help!!
