The new single from Chelsey James titled “Takedown”, which PopWrapped are delighted to premiere, sees the artist strap on the boxing gloves and take the doubters and haters and all their negativity to the mat. It’s an empowering anthem where she comes out victorious, making it known that no matter the challenger, they may get a blow in but she will not be caught cold.
She says of the writing and creative process to the track: “I wrote Takedown at a time in my life where I was just starting my solo music career/journey. There’s always going to be the nay-sayers and negative people in your life trying to pull you down because of their own insecurities, and that’s exactly where this song came from.”
“Takedown” encompasses all around strength – from the emboldened lyrics and rockin’ production to Chelsey’s powerhouse vocals and robust delivery. It shows off a side of Chelsey James that fans have not seen before – a side of confidence and magnetic tenacity that’s almost impossible not to love.
Though this song is about real-life events for the powerhouse vocalist, she always aims to release music that fans can connect with and make their own, something that has seen her establish a strong and growing fanbase since she first burst onto the scene. “This song is about my journey of overcoming obstacles to follow my dream and I hope that when my fans hear it, it will inspire them to do the same,” explains Chelsey. “Takedown” encourages fans to remember their self-worth and find confidence in themselves; ultimately, giving them the courage to block out the nay-sayers, chase their dreams, and live life on their own terms.
