VikJayne - The Change

This song was written from a place of real pain, honesty, and love. It was inspired by my dear friend Butterflysings, who is currently going through menopause and opened up to me about the emotional, mental, and physical battles she faces every single day. As she spoke about the anxiety, exhaustion, mood swings, brain fog, grief, panic, loss of identity, and the overwhelming feeling of not recognizing herself anymore, I could hear the heartbreak in her voice. What struck me the most was how alone she felt — like nobody truly talks about this side of menopause. Society often brushes it off as “just hormones” or “just a phase,” but for so many women it feels like losing pieces of yourself while still trying to survive everyday life with a smile on your face. Listening to her pour her heart out moved me deeply, and together we decided to turn those raw emotions into music that could speak for women who suffer silently behind closed doors. I wrote these lyrics based directly on the real emotions and experiences Butterflysings shared with me, and with the love, support, and encouragement of our amazing friend Libzbradz, we created what we hope becomes more than just a song. We hope it becomes a voice for women who feel invisible, broken, frightened, exhausted, or alone during “the change.” This song is deeply personal. Every line comes from real tears, real conversations, real fear, and real strength. But above all, this song carries one message we desperately want women to hear: You are not crazy. You are not weak. And you are absolutely not alone. Somewhere tonight, another woman is crying the same tears, feeling the same confusion, hiding the same pain behind a forced smile. And if this song can make even one person feel seen, understood, or comforted, then every vulnerable word was worth writing. ❗️IMPORTANT INFORMATION❗️ Written by Vikjaynemusic.
