London-based songwriter Sophie Jamieson shares gut-wrenching new single ‘How do you want to be loved?’ – the latest look into upcoming second album I still want to share, out 17 January 2025 via Bella Union.
‘How do you want to be loved?’ is about the aftermath of a fight with a family member. Hurt and frustration is wrapped around the struggle to understand and forgive.
“I wrote this song after a particularly upsetting fight with a close family member. I wanted to write a song that would help me forgive and understand them – to write my way into being able to love them in the way I felt I should. But I couldn’t keep my anger and frustration out of the song. It kept bubbling through my attempts to embrace their humanity and complexity. In the end, the song seemed to become a battle between the wounded children in both of us. Their voice and pain came through somehow in a way that broke my heart. The song had to hold the very depths of my hurt, and the depths of theirs all in one. This was almost too much to contain.”
