Indigo De Souza has released new single ‘You Can Be Mean’ ahead of the release of her third album ‘All Of This Will End’ later this month.“I wrote ‘You Can Be Mean’ about a brief toxic experience I had with a manipulative and abusive LA model fuckboy”, she says. “However brief, it had a life-long impact on my understanding of self”.“Leading up to that experience, I had a history of putting myself in toxic situations and pining for validation from people who treated me poorly.

I was stuck in some delusion that I could help abusive people through their trauma and teach them to love me in the way I deserved”.“I wrote this song when I finally realised that I could choose not to allow harmful behaviour into my life, and that there is a deep, deep importance in protecting the body and spirit”, she goes on. “I stopped caring about validation from assholes, stopped thinking it was my responsibility to help them, and started caring for myself in a real way”.“Once I made that switch in my psyche, I began to manifest truly loving, safe, kind, and communicative people into my life.

Being loved in the way I deserve begins with loving myself in the way I deserve. Boundaries are so important. The body is a sacred and fragile thing and it deserves every ounce of care”.Speaking about the album as a whole, she adds: “Up until recently, my life felt chaotic.

Now, so much of the chaos is behind me. I have an incredible community, I love where I live, and I’m surrounded by truly incredible people who are dedicated to deep connection and joy.
