"Little Girl Big Feelings"
Embargoed Until 6.6.25
LYRICS
You, always had big dreams
Get out of this town, far away from monsters and cities
You, dreamed of a better life
Singing your heart out to strangers, bringing sparkles in their eyes
I wish I could tell you
I have already made you proud
All your dreams, they come true
In a penthouse with a view and
Mom and dad are cheering for you
That’s what I wish I could tell you
You, little girl with big feelings
Who just wanted a room of kids her age to play with
And all, them to notice when you leave
And the loudest voices to quiet down, when they hear you sing
I wish I could tell you
That I have already made you proud
All your dreams, they come true
Holding your guitar and your youth and
Every song makes you feel brand new
That’s what I wish I could tell you
That you’ve got good friends, there’s no make pretend
That you don’t live off of validation
After all that, that you’ve been through
The world finally held you
And you live like nobody hurt you
I wish I could tell you
That I have already made us proud
All your dreams, they come true
Far from the hometown you outgrew and
Everyone you love, loves you
That’s what I wish I could tell you
NOTES:
I wrote this song after being rejected by “The Voice” This is a song in the form of a letter to my inner child, I wrote it about feeling like I may have disappointed her.
I recorded parts of this project during one of the hardest years of my life—while graduating from my mental health counseling program, navigating grief, and rebuilding my life. That made the process feel incredibly vulnerable, but also powerful.
This was also my first time collaborating on production in a way where I didn’t feel like I had to shrink myself. I brought my full self into the room—big emotions, big ideas, and all.
Bex Lindsey’s “Little Girl Big Feelings” is a moment of stillness in the middle of chaos — a strawberry plucked and savored in the wild. Inspired by The Process, her forthcoming LP steeped in Buddhist parables and strawberry-laced symbolism, this song feels like the first taste of radical acceptance: sweet and powerful.
From its opening line, Lindsey invites us into a space that’s both vulnerable and deeply grounded. There’s no disguising the ache here — no poetic sidestepping or obscured metaphors. She speaks directly to her younger self, the one who longed to be noticed, who thought maybe if she just sang loud enough, someone might finally listen. And now, we are listening. Closely.
Her voice, clear and unshaken, becomes the hand that reaches back through time with tenderness. Lindsey doesn’t rewrite the past; she sits with it. There’s a steady calm in her delivery, a quiet strength that suggests she’s done the work of learning to stay, even when it hurts. The lyrics unfold like pages in a well-worn journal — personal but never closed off, raw but never reckless. When she sings, “You’ve got good friends, there’s no make pretend / That you don’t live off of validation…” it lands without fanfare, like truth finally given permission to exist without shame.
This song is not about resolution — it’s about recognition. It honors the girl who survived without dismissing the pain that came with it. There’s no “and then she got better” arc. Instead, Lindsey offers something much rarer: the possibility of being whole while still in process. When the line “Everyone you love, loves you” arrives, it doesn’t sound like a dream. It sounds like something that might be true — if only you let it be.
“Little Girl Big Feelings” is the kind of song that doesn’t just hold space for big emotions — it invites them in, sets them a place at the table, and reminds us that even our most tender parts are worthy of love. Thank you, Bex Lindsey, for not rushing past the sweetness and for showing us how to stay.
