Behind The Tracks: Leaf - Fat (Single) (2023)

Leaf UK is often criticized for their tongue-in-cheek approach to life, however FAT," delves deep into the universal struggle of self-image, hopefully resonating with listeners who have faced similar battles with their own perceptions. Through the raw medium of rock underpinned by a massive riff, I hope we have managed to capture the essence of a personal journey fraught with self-doubt and societal pressures.

The song's driving guitar riffs and thunderous drum beats serve as the backdrop to convey the weight of our experience (no pun intended). The song paints a vivid picture of the internal turmoil I've faced, showcasing the vulnerability that often accompanies the quest for self-acceptance. My lyrics are an attempt to confront these inner demons head-on. "Fat" doesn't just address the struggle, but also carries a message of resilience and empowerment. It offers a sense of catharsis to anyone grappling with similar issues, reminding them that they are not alone in their battle. The song's chorus, perhaps, serves as a rallying cry, encouraging others to embrace their individuality and reject the unrealistic standards imposed by society and the crap on social media.

We hope that in a world where self-image concerns are prevalent, "FAT" stands as a testament to the healing power of music. I hope that it is a reminder that art can be a powerful medium for personal expression and social change, and that a song has the potential to inspire others to confront their own struggles with self-image. If nothing else, it is a belting song to bang your head to.
