Fleur Lion’s latest single “Prey” is a striking reflection of vulnerability and empowerment. Released alongside a semi-live video, this song captures the raw emotion of overcoming self-doubt and realizing one’s worth. Fleur delves into deeply personal themes of insecurity, constantly questioning her place in the world and feeling trapped by negative self-talk. Yet, through this powerful track, she shifts from a place of feeling small and insignificant to boldly embracing her inner strength.
The lyrics of “Prey” are a mix of vulnerability and fierce defiance. Fleur sings, “I lived too long with monsters in my head, saying I’m not good enough. I lost the game with hyenas all around, thought that I was trapped somehow”. These words are deeply personal, capturing the overwhelming weight of doubt and negativity that so many people face. However, as the chorus builds, it transforms into an anthem of empowerment, “But I’m a lion anyway, so run away. Let’s turn the tables, you’re my prey”. The contrast between the introspective verses and the powerful, stomping chorus makes the track both emotionally raw and liberating. It’s a message of reclaiming control, flipping the script, and owning your own narrative. Musically, “Prey” blends a mix of introspective guitar melodies with a driving, energizing rhythm. The semi-live video brings an added dimension to the track, showing Fleur in a natural setting where her connection to the song feels personal and unfiltered. There’s a sense of intimacy that complements the vulnerability of the lyrics, allowing listeners to feel as if they’re part of Fleur’s emotional journey.
This release also marks a significant point in Fleur’s career as her fifth single, showing her growth both as an artist and as a person. With “Prey”, she continues to develop her sound, blending powerful storytelling with compelling, relatable messages. Fleur’s fans are sure to connect with this track, as it speaks to anyone who has struggled with self-worth and is now ready to fight back against it. As Fleur Lion looks forward to even more releases and collaborations, “Prey” is a strong statement of what’s to come from this talented Amsterdam-based singer-songwriter. With more music on the way, she’s proving she’s here to stay, ready to continue empowering others through her honest, introspective music.
