The tiktoker, now singer, discussed the release of her first single with INSIDER. D’Amelio told the paper that she has “always loved music and performing.” Thanks to her following and the support she got through TikTok, she decided to embrace the passion. However, at first she wasn’t sure this was the best choice for her.
“Once my online following started growing I was able to showcase my passion for dance, but I felt that with so many other people entering the music space there wasn’t room for me.
However, thanks to her father’s support, she decided to give singing a try.
“With my dad’s encouragement, I got into the studio at the beginning of this year just to pursue singing as a hobby. With each writing and recording session, my love for the process grew, and I became incredibly proud of the music we were making.”
“I tinkered with it and changed up some lyrics and production over the last several months and got it to a place that made me truly happy,”
If You Ask Me To Music Video
Together with the song, the official music video of “If You Ask Me To” came out.
The video will follow the “journey of teenage heartbreak” and “conveys the difficulties of watching someone move on,” according to a press release.
