“Sincerely” brings awareness about societal matters; it’s an emotive track where one hears Stephens raw vocals with its atmospheric electronic music. It’s a call out for people to take action in politics and look for a change.
[Verse 1]
I'm calling this the love crusade
The truth is like a black bouquet
Money's got us all enslaved
The bullets and the bombs we make, oh, no
It doesn't have to be this way
But I promise it'll stay this way
If you would rather hear me say
That everything is all okay
I don't care for your drugs, I don't care for your fame
Do you care for the truth if you're not entertained?
I can see through your eyes, I can see through your pain
And you're scared to admit, you feel out of place
[Chorus]
Can you hear that, darling?
A revolution's calling
No child of ours should have to starve
Should have to die for us
Can you feel that, darling?
The monster's marching
This is it, this invitation is
For the ones who love
Sincerely
[Verse 2]
I'm telling you, the world looks perfect from a plane
A couple miles up and we all look the same
One love tryna show us the way
One love that is trying to change
And if we connect with that, then we should be enraged
These fat cats want us lost in the maze
And they're scared 'cause we're breaking the chain
They're scared 'cause we're 'bout to escape
[Chorus]
Can you hear that, darling?
A revolution's calling
No child of ours should have to starve
Should have to die for us
Can you feel that, darling?
The monster's marching
This is it, this invitation is
For the ones who love
Sincerely
[Bridge]
There's a billion people
That could use a hero
Come together, we're the tether
Of this love that's spinning 'round
We could be that miracle
[Chorus]
Can you hear that, darling?
A revolution's calling
No child of ours should have to starve
Should have to die for us
Can you feel that, darling?
The monster's marching
This is it, this invitation is
For the ones who love
Sincerely

My generation has been mislead. We were told to fit in, pass our classes, go to college and prematurely select careers that we don’t love so we can work the rest of our lives to pay back the debt. Our curriculums smothered our creativity and evaluated our worth through standardized t...
This was the first beat I made for the album. I remember very early on in the process wanting to create an album called “Sincerely,” with a song to match the title that would build this epic narrative exposing how twisted and corrupt the reality of the world is – and then after all the words, drop i...
I spent a lot of time in my early 20’s learning about world affairs and politics. I became heavily disenchanted with the idea that “the world is a good place.” I remember how much it sucked to read and investigate, but I remember how good it felt to know the truth, and how it invigorated me to fight...
