Jont’s “Fingers Crossed” is a Raw, Empowering Anthem about Forgiveness, Accountability, and Transforming Pain into Freedom
Nova Scotia via London, UK singer-songwriter Jont‘s new single, “Fingers Crossed,” is a powerful and emotionally charged anthem that dives deep into the complexities of forgiveness, accountability, and the transformative process of taking control of one’s own emotional freedom. The song offers an unflinching exploration of the personal struggle to let go of anger and pain, turning them into liberation rather than allowing them to fester into resentment.
Jont’s music has always carried a sense of introspection, and “Fingers Crossed” is no exception. It comes from a place of yearning for release—release from waiting for someone else to acknowledge their wrongdoing. The song highlights how we often find ourselves trapped in the prison of unspoken grievances, waiting for apologies that may never come, all the while neglecting the fact that we have the power to release ourselves from this self-imposed captivity.
“Sometimes we need to see the truth, to be shocked by the unrelenting truth of how things are, so that we can make a change. And that change invariably needs to happen in us, not in someone else. “Fingers Crossed” is about that realization. It’s about forgiveness, and how it’s often not about the person we are waiting to apologize, but about us choosing to forgive and move on.”
Jont shares,
“The song’s music video, directed by Annaka Gale and Dario Lozano-Thornton, is a visual extension of its themes. “We knew we had the opportunity to create something deeply connected to the shadow realms,” says Jont. “The moments in the video are shocking but playful, and the intense, graphic re-enactments of toxic relationship dynamics are designed to be visceral, dark, and most importantly, true to the nature of those deeply painful moments that so many experience.”
