The Art of Outgrowing Nicely

Julia Kate’s “be nice princess” feels like sunlight breaking through the last fog of people-pleasing — tender, bright, and a little mischievous. What begins as a playful phrase borrowed from internet irony unfolds into something far more intimate: the story of a woman who’s learned that kindness without boundaries isn’t kindness at all.

The track glows with an effortless balance between modern pop shimmer and confessional storytelling. Julia’s voice — warm but edged with quiet defiance — moves through the song like a friend finally saying what she’s held back for too long. The production by Nick Rosen complements her perfectly: clean, buoyant, and full of tiny sonic winks that make the message land with both sweetness and bite. There’s no heavy-handedness here, just a knowing smile that says, I’ve changed — and that’s okay.

The “Alice in Wonderland”-inspired video extends that feeling, spinning self-discovery into a pastel dreamscape where playfulness meets reclamation. It’s self-aware without losing heart, a mirror for anyone who’s ever grown out of a version of themselves that others still cling to.

With “be nice princess,” Julia Kate doesn’t just craft a catchy pop gem — she builds a small anthem for gentle rebellion, for those learning to stay soft while standing tall. It’s witty, freeing, and quietly powerful — a wink and a boundary wrapped in melody.
