Written and co-produced by Carter herself, “I’m Still Here” is an enchanting sound bath composed entirely from Carter’s own voice using expressive harmonies and overtones that allow the strong and purposeful lyrics to come alive.
“This song was inspired by my reflection on some really challenging moments in my life. When I’ve considered the feeling of impossibility from these struggles, I’ve often wondered how I even made it through. I don’t think we give ourselves enough credit for what we endure, and the courage it takes to go forward. Life is hard. We’re all trying our best. We are forever changed by what happens to us, but most importantly after it all; we are still here,” says Carter.
The process of creating a bold, entirely acapella track was a “happy accident” for Carter.

“I want ‘I’m Still Here’ to inspire others to reflect on their own lives and respect their own resilience,” says Carter.
