An empowering pop anthem that reminds women never to let anyone shatter their self-worth. 

Australian Lujza is a multi-talented emerging artist. By “fusing old school soul with fresh beats,” Lujza is focused on telling her story her way. Influenced by old school greats such as Etta James, Aretha Franklin, and Otis Redding, as well as contemporary artists like Joss Stone, Alicia Keys, and Amy Winehouse, her unique genre-bending sound incorporates elements of soul, R&B, alt-pop, and ’80s synth. Her music has drawn comparisons to soul greats like Jill Scott and Beverley Knight. Some of her previous releases include “Lonely Without You,” “Over You,” “Melody,” and “Calamity.” Lujza’s latest drop is the pop single “Don’t.”

With a seriously sweet blend of infectious pop elements and retro-vibing instrumentals, “Don’t” delivers a soul-stirring backdrop that provides a wonderfully timeless feel to the tune’s thought-provoking reflection. Lyrics like “When I was a young girl, I dreamed that I’d soar to the heights of man, I picture myself flying free, With no one holding me back” and “Don’t tell me I’m not enough, Don’t keep me from what I want” showcase the artist passionately addressing the various challenges and unfair treatment women have faced. Fueled by its uplifting, bold narrative and rich, emotionally stirring vocals, Lujza gifts us with an empowering pop anthem that reminds women never to let anyone shatter their self-worth. So press play and let the words of “Don’t” encourage you to take control of your destiny and be your “own woman.”
