The new song by Amy-Lin Slezak is an essential and honest reminder of how important it is to help survivors, and what will happen if you don’t. The country-pop style of “You Don’t Believe Her” suggests a deeper meaning than its melody alone suggests. This song is also a reckoning, and a deep look at how hurtful and judgmental comments can be to women who have been sexually assaulted.
The song fundamentally communicates a message to individuals who audaciously make disparaging remarks online, in the media, or within social circles, assuming their hostility goes unnoticed. Amy-Lin completely goes against this idea, stressing that even though the women they are talking about may never hear what they say, the women who are close by definitely do. Every woman in their circle understands the message about who can and can’t be trusted.
“You Don’t Believe Her” is based on the pain of seeing survivors get hurt again and again while reading mean comments about other people who have been through similar things. Amy-Lin turns that pain into a strong strength that stays strong even when it doesn’t say anything.
Amy-Lin’s voice has a comforting, protective quality, as if she is creating a safe place for every woman who has been ignored or doubted. This song not only resonates with people, but it also lasts, showing how important words are and how much more important the people who hear them are. “You Don’t Believe Her” shows Amy-Lin Slezak not just as a singer but as a voice that fiercely opposes letting injustice fade away.
