These lyrics serve as a reminder that, despite the challenges we face, we can find strength in unity and shared experiences.
“‘Dancing but It Don’t Feel Right’ is one of my most stripped back and vulnerable releases. The song alludes to those moments when you are in space where you don’t quite feel like you belong. As a minority, it is hard to express yourself with the constant stares of judgment and disapproval. Whether it is your appearance, holding your partner’s hand or simply going to the shop , you can feel like an outsider. The world divides us in so many ways and this song aims to deliver a message about unity. It encourages us to come together to create a world where everyone can embrace their true selves without the fear of being judged”.

Asha Ari’s artistry invites us to look within ourselves, reflect on our own experiences, and connect on a universal level.
Asha Ari offers a refreshing perspective that challenges social norms, and her voice acts as a light in a world that can sometimes feel dark and unforgiving.“Dancing But It Don’t Feel Right” is not just a melody, but a powerful reminder that we are all human, and we all have the right to dance freely and unburdened.
“Dancing But It Don’t Feel Right” will be available on all major music streaming platforms on October 26th.
