Sharing more about “Don’t Do Well Alone”, Siobhán Winifred comments:
“Don’t Do Well Alone is like a diary entry confessional about the anxiety and imposter syndrome I often feel. I feel alive when I’m performing on stage, but when I’m by myself, the anxiety and overthinking crawls back in and I can become very self-critical. I wanted the euphoria of performing to be captured through the production (this is my first song with trumpets!) and the intensely vulnerable lyrics to show how hard dealing with anxiety can be. It feels like Sam Fender meets Phoebe Bridgers – two huge influences of mine. I want ‘Don’t Do Well Alone’ to serve as a reminder to people that they’re not alone in how they feel, but also that they should reach out for help instead of suffering in silence.”
