When I reached out to my followers and asked if there was a certain topic they wanted me to write about in my next song and 90% of the answers were "Mental illness" I knew I had to do something about it. So I did my research on the subject snd sat down to write BATTLE CRY. I wanted this song to be realistic, showing the real struggle yet empowering at the same time. I wanted women to feel seen and validated without throwing fairy dust all over it and saying it's all going to be ok, because many people go through life suffering daily and it doesn't just go away. It takes a lot of strength, therapy, and support sometimes to do the most simple things that others take for granted. After I wrote the song, I knew I wanted to get the message out further to all the women who needed to hear it, and the best way to do it was together with the incredible organization AMUDIM who literally save lives every day! Getting people the help they need for a variety of challenges such as: mental illness, addiction, sexual abuse etc... I feel so honored to be doing this project together with them and hope and pray that this song will give those who need it the validation and strength they need. It says "G-d doesn't give a person a challenge he can't handle" and somewhere inside we have the strength we need to overcome it, but sometimes it's an ongoing challenge and takes a huge amountof strength and energy to keep going. We all have challenges in life and at some point feel like we're on the battlefield, But even though we may be struggling ourselves, let's try and look around and see if there are others we could lift up who may seem to be having it harder than us. I hope each one of you could relate to this song in their own way, and I hope it gives you the strength you need. ❤️ Chaya
