The Story Behind My Songs: What You Don’t Hear, But Is There. | by Mia Blondie Beats | Aug, 2025
This journey, for me, started with pain, anger, fear… and also with love and courage. Each of my creations was born from a very real moment; they are truly a part of me and my story.
In this article, I want to open that door a little: to tell you how they were born, what they mean to me, and what I hope they will awaken in those who listen.
This song, as I’ve mentioned before, was written in a moment of deep anger and pain. I was about 20 years old when I wrote a text that, in the eyes of some people, could be turned into a song. At the time, that seemed like complete nonsense to me. For me, it was just a normal text I had written in a fit of rage, and I never considered it could become anything more.
When I started working on the lyrics and creating the sound, I wanted to maintain its authenticity. I wanted it to be faithful to what I felt at the moment I wrote it, which is why the sound is more aggressive than any of my other creations will probably ever be.
This song is the complete opposite of “H.Y.G.F.U”, which is funny in a way, and why I shared it right after. In my best friend’s words, the first one is when everything goes wrong and the second one is when everything goes right.
In “H.Y.G.F.U”, we trusted the wrong person and our heart was broken into a million pieces; while in “You Were The First”, it’s when we meet the right person and our heart is rebuilt, with a lot of calm and love.
This song was inspired by a text I wrote for my current partner, during a complicated time in our lives when we were separated. It’s literally the most public declaration of love I’ve ever made and a very intimate sharing, but it felt right to share.
“Two Teams, One Heart” was born from a text I wrote last year, adapted to my current reality. During the creative process, I realized that, regardless of a person’s story, it would be very difficult for someone not to identify with this song.
Its meaning is a mix of goodbye and a new beginning. It was a challenge to create something so true to my own story, yet one that would resonate with most people. I experimented a lot before I reached the final result because I couldn’t find the right tone. I wanted the sound to feel like the happy ending of a movie, with that silent promise of a sequel to come. And I feel that I achieved my goal.
When I wrote the text that inspired “Wake Your Heart”, I did it with the intention of inspiring anyone who read it, so they would understand that it’s okay not to be okay, that making mistakes is what makes us human, and falling is normal… that it’s perfectly fine to stay on the ground “licking your wounds” for as long as you need, but that we should always get up afterward, and stronger than before.
I wanted to convey the message that the simple act of trying is a victory in itself. I think the message is explicit, and I hope it becomes an anthem for all who need it, especially those who deal with anxiety and depression, just like me. The more cinematic sound, I believe, is the cherry on top. I’m very proud of this creation (of all of them, in fact) but this one is special.
My creations come to life while I’m at my computer, with headphones on, listening to my Spotify playlist (which, if you haven’t seen it, is probably the most random playlist ever 😂), and with a cup of linden tea next to me — that is, unless I’m with my son. In that case, there’s a high probability my computer or the floor will be drinking the tea.
If I’m working on the lyrics, I grab old texts of mine and try to give them a twist. Having a dictionary on hand helps immensely to find the right words (like “eloquent” which i used in my first creation). Some texts are easier to adapt or transform, but they all require a lot of focus.
However, I think the most important thing is to be genuine. And if it feels right to us, it’s done. Something I consider a good trick is to ask ourselves: “What song would you write if you listened to your inner self?” The answer, as always, is within us. We just have to know how to listen.
Each creation is a piece of my story, but more than that: it’s an invitation for the listener to see themselves. I hope that by discovering what’s behind these creations, you will feel them even more intimately.
I started this journey mainly because it’s something beautiful I can leave for my son: my story transformed into sound. This project is mine, his, and anyone else who wants to join us.
Love,
Mia Blondie
