Known for her unfiltered honesty and dedication to social justice, Heather Mae’s latest single, “All I Wanna Do,” captures the essence of unspoken connections and hidden sapphic love.
Inspired by the biblical story of Naomi and Ruth that is often interpreted within the LGBTQIA+ community as an example of deep, unwavering love between women, “All I Wanna Do,” also reflects Heather’s own journey of self-discovery. Grappling with the pressures of hetereosexulity and the purity movement while growing up in a conservative environment, clouded her own understanding of her true self.
She says,
“Despite my early crushes and kisses with girls, I thought I was straight because I also liked boys. Those ‘Naomis’ in my life were just friends in my eyes. ‘All I Wanna Do’ celebrates those hidden sapphic connections, honouring the love that was always there, even when we couldn’t fully see it.”
Heather’s poignant lyrics and infectious melodies bring these messages to life, making “All I Wanna Do” a potent anthem for anyone who has experienced the complexities of hidden love.
