Lily opens up about growing up in her new song "Neuztver to personīgi"

Following her return to Latvian music with the single "Diena pret nakti," singer Lily (Linda Kalniņa) presents the second single from her upcoming album – a personal story about growing up, inner strength, and learning to set boundaries without losing lightness – "Neuztver to personīgi" ("Don't Take It Personally").

"This new song is about learning to accept situations beyond our control – in relationships, at work, or elsewhere – without holding grudges," says Lily. "It's important to care for our mental health, keep our thoughts and surroundings clean, and remain open to both life's upheavals and new beginnings."

Lily has lived in Paris for the past nine years and works successfully in the field of perfumery, but she hasn’t left music behind. Earlier this year, she began collaborating with producer and hip-hop artist Fakts (Jānis Šmēdiņš), as well as emerging actress and lyricist Katrīna Kreile – together, they've created their second track.

Lily describes the collaboration as joyful and harmonious, helped by the fact that all three are from Jelgava: "Maybe that’s why it flows so easily – we come from the same town!" Her younger sister Luīze also joined the recording with backing vocals. A lifelong fan of Linda's, she is now her stage partner as well.

Lily began her music career as a backing vocalist for Lauris Reiniks and later gained national fame on the reality show "Fabrika." Her solo hits include "Iemīlējos Tevī" and "Pasaule." She also released a popular duet with Lauris Reiniks ("Tev šodien vienalga") and a joint album with Don (Artūrs Šingirejs).

The new single "Neuztver to personīgi" is available on all streaming platforms from July 17.
