Ellie Strong is expressing her frustrations with her latest single, “Tired.”
The subject matter is not exactly what one would expect with that title. Strong wrote the song about her struggles with social media. She shares her internal battle with her internet identity. The lyrics communicate the emotions behind posts. By sharing a personal story, it leaves a person vulnerable and open to ridicule.
