After having her empowering song “I AM WOMAN” go viral on TikTok, 22-year-old rising star Emmy Meli surprised fans with an equally impactful visual yesterday (January 20).
Directed by Lisa Eaton, the simple but bold music video shows Meli in a stunning outfit preaching the words of her song alongside her six-piece band: “I am woman, I am fearless, I am sexy, I’m divine, I’m unbeatable, I’m creative. Honey, you can get in line.”
With the song racking in over 72K streams and climbing, Meli told Celeb Secrets host Juliet Schroder backstage at Z100’s Jingle Ball back in December that the attention that “I AM WOMAN” was given thanks to TikTok flipped her life upside down in the best way possible.
“This has been genuinely one of the craziest years of my life,” Meli shared. “I was working two jobs and then finally cut it down to one, and had been gigging all over LA and putting out music. And then all of a sudden, things just exploded, like this entire movement started on TikTok and my life got flipped upside down but in the best way possible. It’s just crazy to think that a month and a half ago I was sitting at work and now I’m here at Madison Square Garden.”
Along with the success of the song, Meli was quick to let us know that there is new music on the way this new year.
“I definitely have some new music coming soon, I have tons of songs under my belt,” she shared. “You can definitely expect a single and then I’m dropping a little project in the spring time so it’s a really exciting time and it’s gonna be a great year with lots of new things coming and new music.”
