The song was inspired by the sudden increase in emigration amongst young people in her hometown, something which is affecting all rural towns across Ireland. It takes the view of someone who is happy at home but feels the pressure of moving away as everyone they know has gone. Sometimes the grass isn’t always greener and it’s ok to be a homebird.

Homebird

The song is an anthem for anyone who has been wronged by someone they trusted. It talks about someone you know (a partner, friend or colleague) turning out to be the opposite of who you thought they were and regretting having ever met them. ‘If I Knew’ is the perfect track to belt out in the car or in the shower and let out all your frustrations!

If I Knew

The song follows someone coming home from work on a Friday, excited to get out to the pub, have a few drinks and let their cares fade away. ‘Brand New’ is a perfect summer tune, ideal for lounging on the beach or in a beer garden with an Aperol Spritz in hand.

Brand New

This song is an anthem of hope and triumph through tough times. Shauna talks about mental health in a way everyone can relate to. She describes doing everything you’re told to do and still facing problems but having the resilience to keep going. ‘Keeping On’ is the perfect antidote to the dark, bleak days of Winter.

Shine (Years And Years Cover)

‘Retreat’ is a song about wanting to remove yourself from drama or problems in your life by retreating from the stresses surrounding you. It talks about needing some space and taking time to focus on yourself and your wellbeing. This song has a slightly different sound to Shauna’s previous releases and will be sure to capture your attention from the first note.
