Rising country star Emily Myers is ready to shake up the music scene with her latest release, “Olives.” This electrifying single not only marks a shift in musical style for Myers, but also serves as a powerful anthem of self-empowerment and resilience. In “Olives,” Myers fearlessly confronts the toxic influences in her life with a boldness that is as refreshing as it is infectious.
Reflecting on her personal journey, Myers shares, “As someone who grew up as a chronic people pleaser, I had to learn how to walk away from toxic people and situations. ‘Olives’ represents not only a new sound for me, but also a new attitude and determination to stand up for myself when someone isn’t treating me right.”
With its catchy lyrics and sassy attitude, “Olives” is more than just a song — it’s a rallying cry for anyone who refuses to settle for less than they deserve. Myers explains, “The main hook of the song, ’skip the branch, pass the olives,’ is a clever way to say to someone that you are not going to continue accepting their bad behavior.”
This spirited track not only showcases Myers’ undeniable talent as a singer and songwriter, but also highlights her commitment to uplifting her listeners. “As an artist, I want to make music that encourages people to run after the life they truly want,” Myers affirms. “‘Olives’ is a song that reminds me to never settle for less and I hope it does the same for anyone else who needs it.”
