“I’m Not Her” describes Mae’s feelings towards her ex’s new girlfriend and comparing herself to them.
In an Interview she explained what she liked most about the song:
It’s so relatable. I love how it’s empowering to people that might be struggling with confidence and saying you’re perfect the way...
[Verse 1]
Been two years, our memories are blurred
Haven't heard your voice, no, not a word
But still they, they talk about the things we were
They talk about us
But I don't know the things that you have heard
[Pre-Chorus]
She's dancing on your feet
With our song on repeat
She painted every role of us
She's taking off her clothes
In the bed you kept me warm
Heard she's everything I never was
[Chorus]
No, I'm not her, no, never will
Never gonna move like her, move like
I'm not her, no, never will
Never gonna look like her, be like
I'm not her, I'm not her (no)
At least that's what I've heard
[Verse 2]
Me, myself, just stumbled on the clue
The thing I thought was missing wasn't you
And now I'm no longer scared to meet the night
I'm doing alright
Me, myself, we started something new
[Pre-Chorus]
She's dancing on your feet
With our song on repeat
She painted every role of us
She's taking off her clothes
In the bed you kept me warm
Heard she's everything I never was
[Chorus]
No, I'm not her, no, never will
Never gonna move like her, move like
I'm not her, no, never will
Never gonna look like her, be like
I'm not her, I'm not her (no)
At least that's what I've heard
[Bridge]
Been told that she's the opposite
I kinda like the sound of it
And there's no one like me
And that makes it easier
[Chorus]
No, I'm not her, no, never will
Never gonna move like her, move like
I'm not her, no, never will
Never gonna look like her, be like
I'm not her, say, I'm not her
No, I'm not her, oh, and I'll never be
At least that's what I've heard
I’m Not Her was written by Cassandra Ströberg & Nicki Adamsson & Clara Mae.
I’m Not Her was produced by Nicki Adamsson.
Clara Mae released I’m Not Her on Fri Nov 10 2017.
The song concept came from breakup conversations during a writing session. About first getting over someone you’ve broken up with, and you hearing he’s met someone new. So many questions pop into your head, “What does she look like?… Is she funny?… Is he making the same memories with her as with me?...
Yes! In the video she explained the inspiration for the song and her favourite line.
