Toronto’s Deanna Petcoff is back with her new confessional indie-rock ballad, “If You Were Me”, which is accompanied by a video directed by Parliament Pictures. The track follows the emotive lead-single “Devastatingly Mediocre” – both taken from her debut album To Hell With You, I Love You out April 8th via Royal Mountain Records.
About the single, Deanna shares:
“This is the oldest song on the record. I started writing this in high school about my partner at the time who was emotionally abusive. I wasn’t able to finish the song once I started it because I didn’t feel safe saying all of these things when I knew he would hear them. My good friend and collaborator Callum Maudsley helped me navigate those waters and come to a message that was clear and relatable to lots of other people; if I were you I would treat me better.“
