Courtney Govan Returns with New Song “your opinion”
American queer alt-pop singer-songwriter Courtney Govan returned with a new song “your opinion” on March 27, 2025.
The song is her first music in two years since the 2023 single “at least”.
The track is a tribute to the girl Courtney Govan was at 12 and was born from her experiences with online criticism and deep-rooted insecurities.
It is about viewing yourself through your own lens rather than the critical lens of others, reclaiming your power, and embracing your identity.
The track was written by Courtney Govan and produced by Bret Paddock, with background vocals and arrangement by Anthony Gargiula and Courtney Govan.
Courtney Govan said of the song, “I got my first online hate comment when I was 12 years old, and I think that's when I really started living my life to please other people. Your self-love needs to outweigh the negative shit, or you'll never truly love who you are. People will always find something they don't like about you, but it can't touch you if you don't give them power.”- source : Apple Music
