How Willow Captured the Feeling of a Panic Attack on Her New Single ‘Run!’


Willow joins Rolling Stone on 'The Breakdown' to explain how she created the latest single 'Run!' from her new album 'Empathogen.'

On the latest episode of Rolling Stone ‘s The Breakdown, the singer and songwriter explains how the funk-inspired record emerged in a similar way, pouring out of her after a moment of self-reflection. Willow wields her voice as a percussive tool across the weighted song, crafting a sonic atmosphere that reflects her own indecision when faced with the question: will you stay and fight, or run and hide? In the end, she chooses to leave, a feeling she calls “beautiful,” but admits, “There’s almost a sadness to it because it’s like I wasn’t strong enough to stay in the moment and see this person for who they really were, and I just ran from the situation.”
