Aima Baig has released an intriguing new track “Be Myself”done in association with Shahbaz Shigri and features the creative new artist Abdullah Siddiqui. This new song fully explores the depth of what our true body image is and how important it is to maintain your self-esteem.
Dwelling on the themes of self-presentation and identity, this song further discovers the true relationship between the body and self that one has. The beguiling lyrics accurately capture the turmoil many of us face in this battle of having a perfect body that adheres to the standards set upon us by the society. At its core, the song describes how damaging it can be when one’s sense of self-esteem is tied to one’s appearance and how important it is to free yourself from it.
The video for this song perfectly balances out the overall theme as well. It adds to the in-depth significance of the song, as in it both Aima Baig and Abdullah Siddiqui portray the turbulence each of one is facing due to the unnatural and meaningless social standards that are created.
Talking about this further, Aima Baig says: “Be Myself is a song that is real. It connects to all of us on some level. I want people to know through my words that social standards will never define what their true potential is. For this song I have explored a genre that I really want to keep doing. I hope the audiences like it”.
Furthermore, Abdullah Siddiqui quoted “I wrote it from a very personal place. From a place of frustration on how self-worth is so attached to body image. I was ecstatic that this song resonated with Aima as well and she took a chance on it. So happy that we trusted Shahbaz to bring this feeling to life with the video — it looks exactly how the song feels”.
Shahbaz Shigri also added: “This music video was special to me in a lot of ways. It’s been almost three years since I went back behind the camera, and because I was working with such talented artists, both of whom I myself am a fan of, it was imperative that the video was worthy of the song. I think, I hope we achieved that.”
“Be Myself” indeed is a masterpiece that is going to help you reflect on what your true identity is. It is a song that is here to reside in the nation’s heart.
