British singer Jorja Smith has released a new song titled “By Any Means.” The harrowing tune, produced by Ezrah, is a response to the social injustice that Black people continue to face.
“White men can’t jump but at least they can run / Broke these chains just to put our hands up / They can never see the kingdom coming / You wanna see us all amount to nothing,” she sings in the first verse.
Speaking on her new track, Smith said, “The inspiration behind ‘By Any Means’ really came from going to the Black Lives Matter protest and leaving thinking, what can I do to keep this conversation going? It’s not just a post on social media, it’s life.”
“By Any Means” is the first single from Roc Nation’s forthcoming project, Reprise, which is described as “a collection of songs…comprised of multiple artists uniting to let their voices be heard in musical protest.”
