Rather than letting it break her spirit, Niyati used her experiences to fuel her music, crafting a track that speaks to every human being who’s been there. It’s about refusing to let other people’s negativity drag you down. You fight, you grow, and you rise above it all.

Growing up, she constantly faced complaints from others, whether it was about her appearance, her behavior, or just about anything she did. Sound familiar? She realized that so many of us suffer from this daily barrage of negativity, and she decided to do something about it—through her music.
