On November 21, 2025, Alicia Creti released her brand new single “Overwhelmed.” The track expresses feeling like the world is on top of your chest suffocating you, but something so minimal could change how you perceive your emotions and to self-reflect. “Overwhelmed” is a soft ballad of raw emotion that allows the listener to understand: it’s okay that you might not understood who you are just yet, but that day is coming. And when that day comes, you will truly understand that you deserve to be loved and that you survived hardships.

“Overwhelmed” is the sound of me cracking open and finally facing myself, ready or not, like it or not. It’s the sound of a love so undeniable it breaks you and forces you to question everything. I’ve struggled with mental health all my life; I’m pretty familiar with feeling overwhelmed. As someone in therapy twice a week, you’d think I’d have been equipped for this but no amount of therapy could’ve prepared me for the magnitude of this feeling. I met someone, a woman, who I felt completely enamored with, and it flipped my world upside down in the best way possible. I felt overwhelmed not only by love but by the truth of who I am, and a feeling of radical self love and honesty. I thought I was healing, but it turns out I was hiding. If you’ve ever felt torn between who you are and who the world expects you to be, just be yourself. Because being overwhelmed isn’t always a bad thing — sometimes it’s just the universe showing you that you’re finally feeling everything you were meant to.” – Alicia Creti
