With raw intensity and an unflinching gaze, Izzie Derry delivers “If They Knew What You Did“, a track that refuses to be ignored, a song that bleeds truth and burns with the fire of survival.
The weight of “If They Knew What You Did” is carried in its every note. Self-produced by Izzie, it unfolds like a confessional whispered into the dark, only to erupt into a chorus that feels like a primal scream—liberating, searing, uncontainable. There’s an almost gravitational pull in the way the song builds, drawing you in before crashing down with the full force of her voice and the weight of its meaning. It’s the sound of pain turned into power, and she holds nothing back. The production, polished by the skilled hands of Sam Clines and Jon Astley, allows every element to shine—haunting melodies, sharp lyricism, and that voice, equal parts fragility and fury.
Coming just days after International Women’s Day, this track lands at a time when its message couldn’t be more vital. Izzie doesn’t just tell a story; she exposes a wound that too many have been forced to carry in silence. “I’m so sorry to any women who relate to it, but I hope it helps you know that it’s not your shame to carry—it’s theirs”, she says. That sentiment echoes through every line of this song, turning it into both a personal catharsis and a collective rallying cry.
