"Proud of Me" is the culmination of years of work from the Birmingham-based singer, who wrote her first song at the age of eight. "I've never been religious," the Birmingham-based singer opens over the track's swell of gospel-infused backing vocals, "instead my mama showered me in kisses."

"Proud of Me" is an honest, open-hearted cut about the aims of her music career: making something of herself that her family can be proud of. There's some "extra magic" from dream collaborator Little Simz in the final minute, but the 19-year-old is certainly taking the time to win us over on her own terms.
