"In My Head" is a mental health anthem for gen z, focusing on what it feels like to grow up in this new era of society being constantly bombarded between toxic spaces on social media and having to take on the new insane expectations of students who are trying to find their way after high school. The song is written from the point of view of someone who is trying so hard to achieve these expectations and the lifestyle that is promised if they do so, however they are so burnt out they have hardly any motivation to do anything. The song has very moody production to match the tone of the song and was produced by Dibs on Soundbetter, known for his work on "Soap" by Melanie Martinez and "Roses" by Carly Rae Jepsen.

Lyrics: 

Verse 1
The pavement was as grey as my soul
As we were driving back and forth from that school
You knew I hated, was so close to rehashing all the old news
But I don’t wanna be a burden, a weight on your chest
Of all my demons, could never let you rest
I’m so sorry that I make you guess what makes my heart sink
It’s no one’s fault but you can blame it on me
It’ll be easier that way
 
Chorus
I live in my head where I paint fantasies
Of dreams that feel so real yet they’re so out of reach
And God I’m so tired yet I’m only 16
So I’ll go laugh at all my nightmares
And then be an endless fountain in my sheets
(My, my, yeah)
 
Verse 2
Light from my phone screen ruined my body and mind
Like my anxiety, can’t leave my bed before nine
And I keep thinking I should tell you what’s poisoned my head
But instead I just ask how your day went
I’m so sorry that I make you guess what makes my heart sink
It’s no one’s fault but you can blame it on me
Who’d even care anyway?
 
Chorus
I live in my head where I paint fantasies
Of dreams that feel so real yet they’re so out of reach (yeah)
And God I’m so tired yet I’m only 16
So I’ll go laugh at all my nightmares
And then be an endless fountain in my sheets
 
Bridge
What would they if I didn’t wake up tomorrow?
Cause I’m such a pain, could sell my tears by the bottle
How could I be such a bore, yet such an emotional person?
Find my letters on the floor, I’ll live in happier heaven
(Heaven, heaven)
 
Chorus
Cause I live in my head where I paint fantasies
Of dreams that feel so real, yet they’re so out of reach
And God I’m so tired yet I’m only 16
So I’ll go laugh at all my, laugh at all my
 
Outro
I live in my head where I paint fantasies
Of dreams that feel so real yet they’re so out of reach (they’re so out of reach)
And God I’m so tired yet I’m only 16 (I’m so tired)
So I’ll go laugh at all my nightmares
And then be an endless fountain in my sheets

In My Head

Let Me Go Numb

This track contains lots of vocal synthesizers, drops, beats, and pads. 

"All We've Known" was inspired by my desire to break both outside of the artistic barriers I was put in due to my age and also the kind of lifestyle I was told I needed to have. "All We've Known" also discusses the struggle that both myself and young artists, especially female artists, face when it comes to being given a chance or opportunity while being able to maintain any success they achieve.

Would You Take Me Back is my third single from my upcoming debut album, 6n7. Would You Take Me Back was inspired by someone I knew very well who ended up falling into substance abuse and began stealing from her family after she married this guy who was already involved in all of these things. Years later she's reaching out to her old friends and family and is trying to fix all the damage that has been done by her and her ex husband's toxic marriage.

Olive Branch is an EDM collaboration with Completion Beats and Rini K. The song begins with a chill vibe that makes you feel like you are in the desert but then escalades into an emotional drop that will make you feel like you are driving a fast car through the city. The lyrics are about forgiving others and yourself for the hurt they've caused you and offering to move forward with them, provided they are willing to accept you as your true authentic self.

Whether you’re struggling with the growing pains of a not so teenage dream or someone who loves introspective songwriting, Rini K’s music takes you to a place of vulnerability and unapologetic honesty. The 17 year old singer songwriter credits her hometown Cary, North Carolina as the place that shaped who she is as a person and as an artist today.

At age 11, Rini learned to play the guitar and began writing songs. She later produced her debut album, 6n7 entirely on her own.

Now working with producers who have worked with artists such as Melanie Martinez and Carly Rae Jepsen, Rini is meticulously crafting her sound every day. Most of her fans know her for her 2021 release "In My Head" which garnered the attention of both new fans as well as many industry professionals.
