Essentials: “YCTMWTD (You Can’t Tell me what to do)” – Ghost In Real Life

Ghost In Real Life (G.I.R.L.) unleashes her full power on “YCTMWTD (You Can’t Tell Me What To Do),” a defiant drum & bass anthem for women everywhere. Fighting back against gendered stereotypes, G.I.R.L. pushes her sound to the limit with technical precision and thrilling, no-holds-barred production in her own pop punk-tinged take on the drum & bass genre. 

“YCTMWTD (You Can’t Tell Me What To Do)” features G.I.R.L. on production and punchy, rebellious vocals influenced by the pop punk genre that inspires much of her art. Kicking down the doors of the male-dominated dance music industry, Ghost In Real Life (G.I.R.L.) has quickly made her mark on the scene due to her confident artistic approach and her extensive musical background. 

“YCTMWTD (You Can’t Tell Me What To Do) is as straightforward as it gets. The meaning behind the song is right in the title. I wrote this when I was angered with being told how I should live my life and act. As a woman I feel like I get criticized way too often for every little thing I do, and sometimes it feels like I can do nothing right. This song represents my decision to just keep doing everything wrong anyways and live my life how I want to.”
