ZARA SMILE RELEASES
HAPPY
Smile's first single, reflecting on their experiences of social media and the trends on social media platforms.
MISPLACED
Smile's second single reflects on their gender identity, and coming to terms with and loving your gender no matter what you identify as.
HUMAN
‘Human’, Smile’s fourth release, touches on their experiences with dissociation and feeling ‘spaced out’. Talking on the single, she says: “I talk about a time where I didn’t feel like I was in my body and got so desperate to feel ‘normal’ again, that I was screaming out ‘why do I not feel human?’”.
TYPICAL
"Typical" is a raw, heartfelt ballad that explores the struggles of navigating social situations as someone who doesn’t fit the so-called “norm.” With vulnerability as her strength, Zara lays bare the inner conflict and isolation many neurodivergent people experience. Her deeply personal yet relatable lyricism invites listeners into her world, where they are reminded of the beauty in embracing who they are—even when they feel out of place.
MISPLACED
“Misplaced” by Zara Smile is a compelling alternative rock anthem that channels the raw emotional landscape of gender dysphoria and the complexities of queer identity. Layered with razor-sharp lyricism, distorted pop-punk guitars, and ethereal melodic riffs, the track blends vulnerability with defiance. Zara confronts societal expectations head-on, voicing the pain of invisibility and the urgency of self-definition. Misplaced is a cathartic, emotionally charged statement—both deeply personal and widely relatable—offering solidarity to anyone who’s ever felt displaced in their own skin. It’s not just a song; it’s a declaration of presence.
FIGHT BACK
"Fight Back" is an aching, angry folk tune that lays bare the quiet battles of imposter syndrome. With stripped-back intensity and sharp, vulnerable lyricism, Zara Smile captures the crushing weight of self-doubt and the fear of never being enough. It’s a song for the days when showing up feels like losing, and for the voices in your head that scream louder than the world outside. Equal parts resignation and resistance, "Fight Back" is the anthem of someone too tired to keep proving their worth, but still brave enough to sing about it.
REWIND
"Rewind" is a tender, hopeful folk track that captures the quiet beauty of healing. With warm melodies and heartfelt lyrics, Zara Smile reflects on the pull of the past and the strength it takes to choose joy after pain. It’s a song about growth—about letting go without forgetting, about finding peace without needing closure. "Rewind" is for the moments when you finally feel the sun again after a long winter, when you start to believe happiness is possible, and maybe even deserved.
