about

Nicholas Dante debuts his fiery and energetic first single, “Rebellion,” due out January 27th, 2023 on all digital and streaming platforms. Written as an angsty and powerful declaration about no longer letting people around you control you, it is the realization that you have been set up to fail by the ones you cherish most.

Partially self-produced, Dante calls it his “most anthemic song.” The track is driven by a gritty baseline, and a hypnotizing synth. Its aggressive lyricism and reggaetón influence - akin to the likes of Arca and Rosalia, feels fresh and forward thinking. This release is only a taste of what’s to come from Dante. Consider this as an Omen…

lyrics

Yeah
I'd love to see you try
I'd love to see you try

Why don't you just stop it
You are never gonna own me
Why don't you just drop it
You are never gonna know me
You may control them
But you will never control me
I do what I want and
You will never ever own me

I've seen it happen way too many times
I've watched so many of them fall in line
Now you come for me with the same lies
Don't make me laugh I'd love to see you try

I would rather tear everything I have to the ground
Than let you come and change me break me take me down
I'm not your little play thing that you keep around
Until another new and shiny one is found

Why don't you just stop it
You are never gonna own me
Why don't you just drop it
You are never gonna know me
You may control them
But you will never control me
I do what I want and
You will never ever own me

Na na na you don't own me
Na na na you don't know me
Na na na you don't own me
Na na na you don't know me

I would rather tear everything I have to the ground
Than let you come and change me break me take me down
I'm not your little play thing that you keep around
Until another new and shiny one is found

I'd love to see you try, aye
I'd love to see you try, aye
I'd love to see you try, aye
I'd love to see you try, aye
I'd love to see it
