Rising 13-year-old songwriter and performer Piper Connolly has released her first single, “twisted play,” a song about breaking free from an identity forced upon you and becoming the real you. Connolly shines as a promising newcomer, effortlessly fusing rock and pop to create an enticing soundscape that captivates listeners. “twisted play” is available to stream and download on all digital platforms.

“twisted play” is a song about separating from society’s confines and reveling in who you are inside. “I wrote this at a time when I was feeling really “stuck,” musically, being someone I wasn’t, just to make others happy,” Connolly reveals. “It had started to really mess with my mental health, and I decided that I wouldn’t do it anymore. I need to be true to myself, musically, however that shows up. ‘twisted play’ is that declaration.” The song carries a moving message of freedom and self-discovery, encouraging listeners to embrace their identities. With its passionate melody and empowering lyrics, it tells a story of escaping from norms and daring to be authentic. The powerful vocals express a longing for expression, turning the music into a symbol of individuality and liberation. Beyond a bop, the song serves as an inspiration for those seeking to reject conformity and live authentically. Piper Connolly collaborated with producer Marvin Fockens to create the track.
