Molly Millington made lemonade out of lemons when she wrote “Your Villain.” This fabulous song came out of a really tough time for Molly. You can hear that when you tune into the lyrics, but they’re wrapped up in such a shimmery pop melody that you might miss the darkness unless you’re listening for it.
“This song was written cathartically to make light of a pretty heavy situation. I found myself in a toxic relationship, I left myself behind trying to keep them safe and happy,” Molly recalled. “When I realised I needed to get out, they told me I was selfish. He had me convinced for a little while that I was a bad person, and it took all my strength to snap out of that and realise that just because that was their narrative, it didn’t mean it was true.”
“Your Villain” is the first new music from Molly since she released her 5 Stages EP in 2023, but she won’t leave us waiting too long for more. I hear she’s got plenty of new music to share with us, so make sure you follow her on Instagram to learn about all the new tunes as they drop.
