Courtney Govan is known for being unapologetically herself. Her music often includes raw, emotional lyrics and soft instrumentation to share her deepest thoughts, feelings, and lived experiences. Her new song “your opinion” focuses on facing negative feelings from others.
“your opinion” is about finding inner confidence. Through steady piano and smooth vocals, Courtney Govan shares her journey of learning how to love herself no matter how others perceive her. Her lyrics reflect on personal experiences she faced from a young age that helped her grow into the person she is today.
With this song, she aspires to start a movement of self-acceptance even in the face of challenges and self-doubt. Reflecting on the message of the song, she shares that she got her first online hate comment when she was 12, which led to a life of people-pleasing. Now, she wants to send a different message:
“Your self-love needs to outweigh the negative shit, or you’ll never truly love who you are. People will always find something they don’t like about you, but it can’t touch you if you don’t give them power.”
