Cindy-Louise, an independent artist originally from South Africa and now residing in The Netherlands, is back with a bang with her new single and lyric video Can’t Own Me.
The talented singer-songwriter has been gaining recognition for her unique Alternative-Pop style, but this time she’s shaking things up by entering the world of Rock music.
In a recent interview, Cindy-Louise expressed her excitement for the release of her new single, saying “this year I will be focusing on Rock, so be ready as it’s going to be a wild ride!”. It’s clear that she’s passionate about exploring different genres and expanding her musical horizons.
Can’t Own Me is a powerful and emotional song that showcases Cindy-Louise’s versatility as an artist.

Cindy-Louise reveals that the song is about her struggle with feeling like she’s being taken advantage of and not being heard. She’s tired of the fake niceness in the world and wants people to be straight with her.
The song opens with a hum, which Cindy-Louise describes as a way of expressing her disbelief. “Just because I work for you, does not mean that you I am a slave, and I won’t obey your every command. I have a voice which needs to be heard,” she explains. The verse “think you’re so clever, think I’m so sweet” is particularly poignant, as it reflects the idea that just because someone is kind and accommodating, it doesn’t mean they can be walked all over.
Despite the serious themes in the song, Cindy-Louise also injects some fun into the mix. The western vibe with a rock kick gives the song a soft head-banging feel that perfectly complements the attitude she’s bringing to the table.
In the lyric video for Can’t Own Me, Cindy-Louise is seen in various settings, conveying the different emotions and attitudes of the song. She’s a force to be reckoned with, and her talent shines through in every frame.
