Nigeria-born, UK-based Obongjayer reflects on a surprising theme which you wouldn't guess when you hear the beat of “Just My Luck.”
“‘Just My Luck’ is a song about loneliness, about wanting to be a part of a crowd, and the fear of missing out. On reflection, not being part of those crowds I so desperately wanted to be [in], and being absent from whatever it was at the time that would make me feel like the world would end allowed me to really dig deeper. [To] not only discover myself, but also appreciate my unique self,”says Obongjayer. “Because there weren’t any distractions and nothing else to do but be in myself and flesh out the person I eventually became, I also spent that time writing; discovering my voice musically. I guess in some ways [I was] using that initial sting as fuel to propel me in self enlightenment! Hahaha.”
