Ingrid Andress is set to release her latest single, “Now I Know,” on February 13, perfectly timed for Valentine’s Day. This empowering anthem focuses on self-exploration, personal growth, and the brave decision to leave unhealthy relationships. “Now I Know” signifies a pivotal shift from the innocence of romantic love to a deeper sense of self-awareness, achieved by embracing courage and forging a new identity rooted in growth rather than mere comfort.
Andress reflects on the journey of self-discovery, stating, “We all start our life journey not knowing much of anything. As we grow, we learn most of what we know from our parents, grandparents, teachers, and peers, and we make decisions based on their loving but limited amount of knowledge.” She highlights the importance of challenging the familiar, acknowledging that while some choose to remain in the comfort of the known, others find that growth can come with significant pain. “The beauty of knowing you made it through those ugly, difficult times is what makes all the heartbreak worth it,” she adds.
The song, crafted in collaboration with Derrick Southerland and Sam Ellis, aims to inspire listeners to confront and release what no longer serves them. Andress emphasizes that true happiness is attainable and that individuals are capable of realizing their dreams. “I wrote ‘Now I Know’ to encourage myself and others to face and let go of the things that no longer serve us,” she explains.
This release is a significant addition to Andress’s growing discography, which includes her acclaimed albums, “Lady Like” and “Good Person,” both of which garnered GRAMMY nominations and received recognition from various music industry outlets. As she continues to evolve as an artist, “Now I Know” represents another step forward in her journey, inviting others to embrace their paths toward self-confidence and fulfillment.
