When asked about the inspiration behind the track, HARPER shared, “Weight Of The World was written about the last few years of my life. I’m still so new to music, and I definitely felt there was a lot of pressure on my shoulders holding the flag for heavy music on such a commercial stage last year. It’s also a very empowering song, and I really hope through my music a lot of kids my age can discover heavy music and also be inspired to make their own. It was so good to work with Leo and Dave on this song. I’m a big fan of both of their bands, so to have them be a part of this was really cool!”
With “Weight Of The World”, HARPER is boldly breaking barriers and proving that age is just a number when it comes to channelling emotion and power through heavy music. The track is a perfect showcase of HARPER’s immense talent and unwavering dedication to her craft already. This is just the beginning of an incredible musical journey for the young superstar.
