Benee releases new song 'Doesn't Matter'.

Opening up about her mental health struggles, Benee has shared a new song, 'Doesn't Matter', which follows a heartfelt Instagram post recently in which she detailed that: "I'm still navigating my own mental health journey but I'm so glad that ppl are finally starting to talk more openly about their own struggles. There are so many bootiful ppl out there and life can be SOOOO good- it really pushes me to keep trying to feel better."

About her new song, she says: "It seems like a very long time since I’ve released any music. This year has been very difficult for me and many other people, and I’ve had times that I’ve really felt my lowest. I wrote ‘Doesn't Matter’ during one of these periods when I felt truly overwhelmed, anxious, and stuck. I was diagnosed with OCD, which actually helped me understand myself better. This song ponders on what it would be like to feel truly carefree and how much easier life would be. Sometimes, it’s hard for people who don’t suffer from anxiety or depression to really understand what it’s like for us. People telling you not to worry or saying ‘It doesn’t matter’ don’t understand that it’s not that simple. Having had help to learn how to deal with my own anxiety and depression, I want others to know that there is a way through."
