LOVA - 'Insecurities' music video.

Following her feature on Spotify's New Music Friday playlist last week, Swedish singer-songwriter LOVA has now also shared a music video for new single, 'Insecurities'.

About her new song, Lova says: "I got so sick a while ago after I got out of a really bad relationship and I can look back at it now and see that I was so insecure. My biggest fear is not being good enough so when someone breaks up with you it's confirmation that you aren't good enough. But when you realise it and become aware of your insecurities and accept them it doesn't make you weak."

On if she thinks pop music is thriving: "I think pop music’s in a really great place right now. There are definitely two different storylines to who I am, you know? There’s the Pop 2 mixtape kind of like songwriter world of things and then there’s the girl who sang 'Boom Clap' and was featured on 'Fancy' with Iggy (Azalea). I think both of those storylines are equally valid."
