Faouzia knew “Unethical” was special, but had no idea how deeply listeners would connect with it.

Faouzia: I knew, and I didn’t know. When I wrote that song, I was as honest as I could be. I decided to have no filter, and I was thinking, “I’m just gonna lay it all out on the table. Whether people like it or not, this is me.”

When I finished the song, I knew that it was impactful to me. I thought, “I really believe this song is special, but if nothing happens, that’s all right because it was a healing moment. If it resonates, that’s even better.”

I didn’t know just how impactful it would be. When a song is written, it’s written about something, but then the second it leaves your hands, you don’t know how people will interpret it. Reading everyone’s stories and seeing how it’s been healing for them, too, has been beautiful.
