Opening up about her new single, Lola Young explains:
“‘Ruin My Makeup’ is a song I wrote about the duality of a person, well me. I was in a place at the time where I was trying to figure out whether my confidence was hindered by my vulnerability. If I cry about you, it will only ruin my makeup. It’s a sad song at heart but it has elements of strength and power. It touches on my journey through life, struggling with acceptance whether that be through religion or friends or drugs or most importantly through love.”
The duality Lola Young has identified within herself extends to her artistry. Through her music, the 20-year-old has shown it’s ok to reveal your vulnerability without losing your power.
