When The Weekend Ends
According to Dr. Google, imposter syndrome is a psychological pattern where you doubt your accomplishments and have a fear of being exposed as a fraud, despite your successes.
‘When The Weekend Ends’ was written in a vulnerable state, reflecting this self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Much like any minor inconvenience that happens in my life, I wrote a song about it. Pairing emotional honesty with an upbeat pop song, this song is perfect for fans of Gracie Abrams, Olivia Rodrigo, and Maisie Peters if you feel like confronting your problems!
