Alexa Villa Releases New Bubble Pop-Rock Anthem: Not Your Fool
The new single “Not Your Fool” from bubble-rocker Alexa Villa is out now.
The track is off of her album Good Girl. Alexa Villa has received acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone, Earmilk, American Songwriter, LADYGUNN among others. While her classmates were playing with Barbies, Los Angeles-based Bubble Rockstress Alexa Villa was playing on The Warped Tour. She has opened for acts including Hinds, The Darkness, Drake Bell, and Ryan Cabrera to name a few and has honed her craft as the sharp yet charismatic artist she is today.
The single is about “reclaiming your power after a break up. It’s about looking back at all the red flags, realizing that I missed them, and choosing to grow from the pain rather than letting the break up break me. I wrote this song months after my very toxic long term relationship ended, once the fog cleared and I was able to see that I should have left sooner.”
With influences ranging from Miley Cyrus, Yungblud, 5SOS, Willow Smith, and Halsey to Gwen Stefani, and Alanis Morissette, the singer/songwriter/classically-
Says Villa, “I wrote ‘Good Girl’ about all the times I felt I was not taken seriously as a woman in my industry and in my relationships. I wrote it about all the times I’ve felt confused about my place in the world and the times I felt like I needed to hide. I wrote this song to redefine what a ‘Good Girl’ is. I’ve caught myself and I’ve seen so many of my friends, strong and beautiful women, altering themselves to fit inside the box that was created for us.”
“Why do we have to wear pink, have the perfect body, or be quiet and look pretty to be feminine? And if we do live outside the box why do we as women then become stereotypes? I wrote this song at a time when I was frustrated and angry about the rules. Rules that were so clearly made to be broken. I don’t have to be anything but myself to be a woman. I wake up everyday and get to decide who I want to be. That’s what this song is about.”
