Non-binary American singer-songwriter Grayson has released their latest song “Cherry Pits” with an accompanying lyric video This marks Grayson’s second single following the release of “Brother” last year. Both tracks are from Grayson’s forthcoming debut EP Head To Head, produced by Aidan, which will be released on May 10 via One Half Records.
Of the track, Grayson says, “It is important to let other people help you and be a part of the process of growth, but at the end of the day, you are alone with yourself and your thoughts. ‘Cherry Pits’ is about the need to take ownership of my self. This desire brought up many questions: What are my needs? What are our needs People often say, ‘You can’t have everything.’ You definitely can’t have it by stepping on someone else in order to get there. It warps the success of whatever that thing may be. Misery loves company, as the cliche goes. Confrontation has never been my strong suit, but ‘Cherry Pits’ is a firm voice giving me permission to no longer stay in a damaging cycle. Toxic behaviors often repeat, but when you can finally turn the corner of letting go, the energy around you feels super-charged.”
