Oh! Thank goodness it’s Friday\u2014now I can share the track that’s occupied my headspace all week. I lost count of how many times this song has popped into my head. Whatever I did, be it household tasks, watching TV, on a walk or blogging, the earworm was mischievously always there, even in my quiet moments. The track in question, “NO!<\/strong>” by Rhian!<\/strong>, has struck such a chord that I think it has earwormed its way and taken up the position as my new theme song. When you listen to “NO!<\/strong>” you will understand precisely why I found the infectiousness hard to escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An alert about “NO!<\/strong>“. It should come with a warning attached as the track somewhat emits a playful vibe and is effortless that listeners will be drawn into it. However, there is more to “NO!<\/strong>” than exhibiting an insane ear-popping melody alone. The song does have some astute words of wisdom to offer about the power of no. It’s a song about self-preservation and empowering ourselves by saying no to things and situations that make us uncomfortable or don’t align with our beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song lyrics demonstrate Rhian! is leading by example\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Boring me with mundane conversations. I say NO!
Keep telling me that I’m extra. I say NO!
Waiting in a queue outside the club. I say NO!
Sipping champagne from a plastic flute. I say NO!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Learning to own my NO!, learning to know, learning to know, it’s OK to say NO!”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\"Listen<\/a>\n\n\n\n
