“Control” singer
Zoe Wees
is out with a new song and video, ”
Girls Like Us
.” Like “Control,” the song is meant to offer comfort to people who are struggling, but in this case, the struggle is with self-confidence.
“It’s not always good to think about how you look to the rest of the world. It’s much more important to think about how you feel inside,” the Germany-based singer explains. “It is not easy to call yourself beautiful but being confident helps you to accept and love yourself.”
“Mirror, Mirror on the wall/I don’t see beautiful/Staring back at me,” she sings. In the clip, disembodied hands wipe tears from her face; in other scenes, she appears wrapped in chains and standing in the rain.
“We’re walking through a world with blinded eyes,” Zoe adds. “At the end of the day, we all go to bed without make-up with the ugliest clothes and wake up with the messiest hair on earth.”
This past week, Zoe made her U.S. T.V. debut on
The Late Late Show with James Corden
, singing “Control.”
