The
soulful singer-songwriter and guitarist delivers a moving
new tune with her latest single ‘I’d Change It
All’, a heartfelt contemplation on the
emotionally unpredictable rollercoaster ride that stems from
a turbulent relationship.
‘I’d Change It
All’ captures the emotional exhaustion of a
volatile relationship – the constant fighting, the
disconnection, and the painful realisation that sometimes
you no longer recognise the person standing in front of you.
The song reflects on the internal battle between love and
logic; the desire to go back and rewrite the damage, while
still holding onto something that refuses to let
go.
“At its core, the song is about loving
someone even when it no longer makes sense”,
says Martin. “Sometimes your heart
chooses differently to your head, and no matter how much
hurt there’s been, you still can’t imagine changing the
story.”
In a striking emotional twist, the song
closes with the line: “If I could go back to September,
I’d change nothing at all.” What begins as a song
filled with regret, transforms into an acceptance that love
is rarely rational – and that even painful chapters can
still hold meaning, growth, and deep connection.
The
track is accompanied by a rollercoaster-relationship music
video directed by Tricia Tawiri from
Intuitive Flare, which visually depicts the
push and pull nature of a passionate but tumultuous
romance.
