Following the success of her previous single, Stayed, 22-year-old Glasgow
born singer/songwriter Bethany Ferrie returns with a new track called Under.
The song, which is being released on the 10th of July 2020, is about the
heartbreak of being let down by people that you expect to be there for you.
“It’s always the hardest heartbreak when they’re the ones to let you down.
Friendships, relationships, family relationships; they’re the
things that can really make you or break you completely.
I’ve never been the person that someone never wants
to lose, and that sort of thing can eat away at you
if you think about it too much. You end up
questioning your own self-worth. It’s a
headspace that you slip into but have to claw
your way back out of."
When I started working on the production of
the song, I was going off of two chords
throughout the full thing. Back and
forth, super simple. I took a lot of
inspiration from John Mayer on this
track–a lot of electric guitar and
really narrowing the focus in
on the lyrics of the song.”
