A Euphoric, Whimsical Summer Escapade of the Heart
President Street, Australia’s dynamic pop-fusion duo, is thrilled to announce the release of their euphoric dance-pop single I Don’t Wanna Be – a track that’s an up-tempo explosion of joy and energy led by sentiments of fantasy and a desire to escape reality that’ll definitely get you dancing and feeling free. Filled with a sense of wonder, I Don’t Wanna Be explores themes of embracing love and personal power to expand beyond your comfort zone and step into a bright, fantastical world of your own creation.
Hot on the heels of their triumphant Australian 2023 debut releases with dance-pop cover She Drives Me Crazy and follow up pop-ballad Something to Believe that saw the duo receive radio playlisting at national networks iHeartRadio, ARN (KIIS FM) and ACE to name just a few, President Street are back with I Don’t Wanna Be.
Built around its infectious pulsating synth, deep bass grooves, funky guitar riffs and hook-laden melodies with carefree, yet compelling lyrics, I Don’t Wanna Be is a fun and empowering summer anthem that resonates with anyone yearning for liberation and a taste of something beyond the ordinary.
Ruby’s relaxed and dynamic vocal perfectly sets up the whimsical and other worldly yet powerful and energising feel of where the song takes you in spirit.
Inspired by vocalist Ruby’s connection with Piscean themes of water, love and the dream world, I Don’t Wanna Be is a quintessential Pisces song. I Don’t Wanna Be has been on its own journey after being written by the ocean in Lorne, Victoria, on a day where many planets were astrologically placed in Pisces (as was discovered in retrospect). Since then it’s been across the seas to the UK to record additional vocals in London with world renowned John Reynolds (Sinead O’Connor, U2, The Corrs) before being mixed by legendary Ash Howes (Kylie, 5SOS, One Direction, Ellie Goulding).
