Why Them?—A Fiery Anthem of Self-Discovery and Defiance

Crank up the speakers and let the passion take over—Catlea’s latest single, Why Them?, is an electrifying indie-pop powerhouse that doesn’t just ask questions but demands answers. The fifth release from the concept album Language Barrier, this track is a raw, pulsating rollercoaster of self-reflection, independence, and untamed emotion. With its high-energy beats, sultry vocals, and anthemic chorus, Why Them? isn’t just a song—it’s a reckoning.

From the opening line, Catlea doesn’t hold back: “I don’t make good choices, I avoid them like the plague.” It’s an immediate plunge into the messy, thrilling, and sometimes reckless process of self-discovery. The lyrics resonate with anyone who’s ever been caught in the whirlwind of toxic relationships, questionable decisions, and the ever-present search for identity. But beneath the chaos, there’s clarity—an awakening that builds in intensity until it erupts in a defiant, guitar-driven climax.

Blending the sensual allure of alt-rock with the infectious hooks of indie pop, Why Them? refuses to be boxed into a single genre. The production is crisp and immersive, shifting effortlessly between moody vulnerability and soaring, full-throttle rebellion. The bridge strips things back just long enough for the tension to simmer before exploding into a final, unshakable declaration of self-worth: Why them, indeed.

Whether you’re recovering from heartache, questioning your own choices, or just craving a damn good track to belt out in the car, Why Them? is the kind of song that lingers long after the final note fades. Catlea is not just making music—she’s making statements. And this one? It’s impossible to ignore.
