Singer Sonia Rao dropped the music video for her single “You Say I” off her upcoming “Los Angeles” album. It’s a personal song about self-worth and not letting others bring in thoughts of insecurity and self-doubt. Believe in yourself and surround yourself with supporting people, especially in relationships. Sonia states, “the song is so close to my heart and so many of my close friends, fellow artists, and homies from The Voice are in this video.” Look for cameos from Melissa Polinar, Connie Lim, Dia Frampton, and more. You can download the track on or amazon.

You Say I by Sonia Rao
Lyrics to You Say I by Sonia Rao
You say I don’t speak the truth
You say I don’t care for you
You say I don’t know myself like you
You say I am too afraid
To live by the words I say
That I am more ideals than action
You say I talk too loud
That I’m hiding behind sound
That the thoughts I call my own are from without
So what if it’s true
So what if it’s true
You called me ugly I believed you
You made me feel like I was beneath you
You broke me down till I was nothing but air
You say I can write my songs
I can sing them all night long
Till my face turns blue this earth still burns
You remind me of its pain
Of my indifference you’re ashamed
How I can write my silly songs and still
Look you in the eye
So what if they’re true
So what if they’re true
You called me ugly I believed you
You made me feel like I was beneath you
You broke me down till I was nothing but air
You called me empty I believed you
You made me crawl out from underneath you
You broke me down till I was nothing but air
And though I know flawed as I may be
I know it’s you, you who are unhappy
This morning while the coffee brewed
I made plans to leave you
And all at once, I felt lighter than air
Baby it’s true
Baby it’s true
You called me ugly I believed you
You made me feel like I was beneath you
You broke me down till I was nothing but air
You called me empty I believed you
You made me crawl out from underneath you
You broke me down till I was nothing but air
You broke me down till I was nothing but air
Now I feel like I am walking on air
