Gabriella Zauna encourages listeners to strive for authentic self-improvement and to be a better version of themselves today than they were yesterday, highlighting the importance of self-care along the way. Encompassing her alt-tone with dreamlike ethereal features and darkly captivating instrumentals, Zauna dives into all-too-relatable themes everyone experiences, especially women, in terms of needing to fit a certain image.

Zauna explains, “This track explores emotions of self-loathing and deprecating thoughts regarding life experiences, appearance/physique, and falling victim to the societal time clock. For women in particular, this song dives into the societal pressures that we feel and the thoughts of self-contempt and comparison regarding our bodies, as well as criticizing aspects of ourselves, thinking that it will solve the problem.” Making it a goal to resonate with her listeners’ through her lyricism and give them clarity, she continues, “We have this preconceived notion of when our careers are supposed to take off, when certain landmarks in life are supposed to happen, and when they don’t, you beat yourself up naturally.” There is no rule book in life on when things need to happen.

“This song is a reminder to myself to toughen up when you think you have it worse than everyone else – to push forward, work harder, and stay invincible no matter how hard you may want to give up.” With never giving up in mind and making this the song for those who feel trapped, she emphasizes, “Wallowing about what you haven’t accomplished yet in life will push you back, getting up and making yourself who you’ve always wanted to be will push you forward.” “PINUP” was written and produced by Gabriella Zauna, showcasing her artistry as an emerging force within the music scene, embodying a unique musical landscape with an ominous twist.
