You have to listen to this beautiful song called ‘Girls’ by Rachel Platten that she penned for her daughters.
“Hope you always know your worth, though I know that life can hurt
Hope you know that you can turn to each other, hope you learn to trust your voice
Make mistakes and make some noise, hope you never lose your joy or your hunger
Girls you were born to run, to reach the stars and chase the sun”
This touching song is matched with a simple and heartfelt music video of Rachel Platten playing and singing the song ‘Girls’ at her piano. She is the singer of the song ‘Fight Song,’ and ‘Girls’ is her more recent inspirational track.
The song was written by Rachel Platten, Sean Myer, Ferras Alqaisi, and Meghan Kabir and it conveys a message of strength and hope for girls everywhere. Rachel Platten says that she wrote the song for her two daughters – Violet, who is 4, and Sophie, who is 20 months old.
"It was really important to me to get to send a message to my daughters, mark this period of time and let them know how I was feeling, how important [they are], and how much love I have for them," shares Rachel Platten. "Sometimes songs feel like they come out of the sky, like a little star I grab. This one came almost pre-written. It was almost like it was revealing itself as I played."
As a mother to little girls, Rachel Platten says that she has so much to share now when it comes to the messages in her music.
"Anything is possible. I know that there's a lot of doors that we have to kick down and ceilings to break, and there’s obstacles in our way. Not just for women, for all humanity, but I think especially for girls and women right now," she says. “That's what I want my daughters to know, that you can overcome anything."
We hope that you enjoyed listening to the song ‘Girls’ by Rachel Platten today!
