The track is an anthem for overcoming challenges and striving for greatness—whether it’s finishing school, landing a dream job, or letting go of burdens. “Staying inspired and always betting on yourself is the essence of this song,” RedMic shares.

RedMic’s versatility shines through her ability to cross over into multiple genres, including Afrobeat, which she embraced while recording her Afrobeat EP in Nigeria as an American artist. Fans can look forward to a video reel for “Chasing Destiny” and live performances that highlight her raw talent and lyrical brilliance.
