Manola’s new single explores self-sabotage as an “internal breakup” and marks the beginning of her album era.
Artist, songwriter and communicator Manola unveils her new single, “It’s Not Me, It’s Me”, a track that transforms self-sabotage into art by exploring human duality and the urge to “break up” with the version of ourselves that holds us back. Released on November 7, the song represents the meeting point between her artistic voice and her work as a communicator.
In recent months, Manola has reached a wide audience through her content on self-care, emotional maturity and personal responsibility. What many of these new followers may not know is that all of these reflections originated in her music. This single serves as a bridge between the two worlds, proving that her insights also take shape through rhythm and melody.
An “internal breakup” set to music
In “It’s Not Me, It’s Me”, Manola delivers a sung confession — a direct, honest conversation with the mirror. The track plays like a breakup letter to the version of ourselves that lies, procrastinates, and sabotages plans. It captures the clash between the disciplined self we aspire to be and the impulsive self that postpones everything.
The narrative dives into the internal conflict of setting goals but stumbling over habits that hinder growth. Manola turns this emotional tension into art, acknowledging that many of our wounds come from within, not from others.
The beginning of the album rollout
The single also marks the start of the countdown to her debut album, “The Prize”, a project that expands the conversation about inner conflicts, emotional maturity and the journey of self-reinvention. With this release, Manola strengthens her identity as a multi-artist — a singer, songwriter and creator of sensorial experiences.
“It’s Not Me, It’s Me” acts as a symbolic full stop to excuses that have been repeated for far too long — an invitation to face uncomfortable truths and begin a new chapter of authenticity. The music video will be released on November 11.
