Rising star Livia is best known for her soft vocals, heartbreaking lyrics, and emotional ballads. But in her new single 'I TOLD YA!’, listeners are treated to a whole new sound. Told over Brat synth-beats, Livia delves into the mind of Tashi Donaldson. 'I TOLD YA!’ is Livia’s attempt at recreating one of the most iconic summers yet.

Normally, taking inspiration from the world around her, Livia delves into the complicated world of Challengers (2024). With clever lyrics and addictive beats, she has pushed her artistic boundaries to new heights, opening the world of Livia to a whole new audience.
The dramatic themes of Challengers are sprinkled throughout this song. From the cinematic-synth melodies to pulsing tennis ball beats, 'I TOLD YA!’ would fit perfectly alongside the Challengers soundtrack. As Livia’s soft vocals reflect the calm nature of Tashi Donaldson, the electronic instrumentals showcase her underlying anger. Together, they perfectly capture the character Tashi Donaldson, showcasing her desire and drive throughout the iconic final match.
As the film focuses on Art Donaldson and Patrick Zweig, the audience is left to decipher the mind of Tashi Donaldson. In 'I TOLD YA!' Livia lets Tashi take centre stage, allowing her to take control of the narrative.
This synthpop track is a dramatic change in direction. One that Livia should continue in. For an artist who typically creates heartbreaking ballads, 'I TOLD YA!’ is a refreshing and exciting musical change. With talks of a debut EP, who knows where Livia will take listeners next?
