There’s something electric about a song that can make you dance, meditate, and feel invincible simultaneously. Laiza Valdés offers all this and more on her newest single, “On My Own,” a bouncy, genre-defying anthem of self-worth and personal triumph that grabs both your ears and your heart.
“On My Own” is a colorful, infectious pop offering that refuses to stay inside the lines by co-opting an electronic twist, an Afrobeat thump, a drop of Latin groove, and even a saxophone just for some funky gloss. Valdés threads together English and Spanish verses with effortless grace, rendering the track not just international-sounding but universally purposeful.
This is a touchstone in Valdés’s journey. Springing from a personal story of loss, doubt, and hope, “On My Own” is the best strength. It takes its cue from her experience of stepping up when her father became seriously ill and seizing control of his band, all while facing industry gatekeepers and dismissive voices that underestimated her ambition and talents. This is an anthem of resilience. It’s a love song on the surface, but its deeper undercurrent is one of female empowerment steeped in not being overlooked and the pride that comes from fighting one’s way into the spotlight.
“On My Own” bristles with vitality. Wherever you’re going on a run, dancing in your living room, or reckoning with a moment of doubt, this song knows that you’re enough and strong, alone. It’s the music that fills a room, the kind that incites your body to move, the kind that lifts your spirit. If this release indicates what’s to come, then the world stage had better make some space because she’s already on it.
