New York-based singer-songwriter Alexa Kate draws inspiration from influential female voices such as Taylor Swift. Committed to authenticity, she shares her most vulnerable self through her music, peeling back layers to reveal truths others might conceal. Alexa Kate’s latest release, the pop single “Delusional,” accompanied by an official lyric video, explores themes of empowerment and self-acceptance. According to the artist, the song encourages reclaiming power, even if one must feign confidence to do so, embracing the beauty found in imperfection.

With a wonderfully immersive blend of ambient tones and infectious melodies, “Delusional” provides the perfect atmospheric backdrop to complement the tune’s emotional tale nicely. Lyrics like “Maybe it’s easier to mess it up, Instead of standing here, waiting to see if I’m enough” and “Stare in the mirror, pretend that I feel love, Disregard all the toxic thoughts that I’ve been thinking of” vulnerably reflect on presenting yourself as unbothered despite your internal struggles. Fueled by its sweet, emotive vocals and relatable narrative, Alexa Kate gifts us a captivating pop tune about faking it to empower your reality. So press play and let yourself get a little “Delusional.”
