ROREY Announces New EP, Shares “Nobody’s Fault But My Own” Single + Video
New York native singer-songwriter ROREY
Our first taste of Dysphoria comes from lead single, “Nobody’s Fault But My Own“, a vulnerable song that highlights ROREY’s ethereal vocals as they float over acoustic guitar. “Nobody’s Fault But My Own is a love letter to myself,” she says. “It was the moment I learned what true accountability looked like. It was my responsibility to pull myself out of my mental mess. The choice to stay in pain was nobody’s fault but my own. For the first time, I understood I had to choose myself — for myself — not because anyone told me to or asked me to, but because I finally believed I was worth it.”
FEATURE INTERVIEW:
“Nobody’s Fault But My Own” is out today on all DSPs. Dysphoria is due for release on August 15th.
You describe the song as your moment of learning true accountability-what did that realization look like for you emotionally and creatively?
The song poured out before I even cognitively integrated the sentiment into my psyche, but it set the inescapable truth into motion — I was the reason I wasn’t getting better, not anybody else. I had choices, and I kept making the wrong ones — and I knew it. I was painfully self-aware, which made it worse, because it wasn’t until three months later that I actually got the help I needed. It was the ugliest mirror I ever had to face — a.k.a. my wounded self.
How did the idea for “Nobody’s Fault But My Own” first come to you-was it a lyric, a melody, or a feeling?
It came from a voice note I recorded in my room at 2 a.m., eight months earlier, where I sang, “It’s nobody’s fault but my own, my own, my own.” My best friend at the time heard it and said, “You have to do something with this.” I valued her opinion, so I did. That voice note ended up being quite the premonition.
How do you hope people feel when they listen to your new music?
Validated, vindicated, and a little less invisible — that’s what I hope people feel. That matters most to me. It’s why I do this. I’m endlessly grateful to anyone who listens to my art, because in doing so, they’ve vindicated me in return — reminding me I’m not the only one who feels this way.
