Opening with emotive and purring vocals, SEVEN articulates the fight against negative thoughts and feelings in her lyrics and tone. “This music video is very special to me, I wrote this song when I needed to find the way out of my head and I hope that this song will help other people, just like it helped me.” With a crisp and intense beat, the song climactically reaches a sensitive and impassionate chorus, where the repetition of the title, “In My Head” captures the overwhelming and seemingly inescapable feelings that being in the throes of negativity can surface.
The cinematic artistry in the darkly dystopian music video must also be applauded where mocking figures dressed in black surround SEVEN in a dance interpreting the feeling of being trapped in your own head. “In My Head” conveys to fans that it is totally normal to have feelings and be worried about things, but the most important thing is to fight against and aim to overcome them. The themes of female empowerment, inspiration and social issues are often explored in SEVEN’s music and visuals where she puts her skills as a musician, actor, and producer to good use. The self-made-triple-threat gained over 1.2 million views on YouTube in the first three days of releasing her debut single, “Red Sky” under another pseudonym, SEVEN.
