Dylan Emmet Shares New Single ‘Don’t Love Myself’
New York-based indie-pop singer, songwriter and producer Dylan Emmet shares his brand new single Don’t Love Myself, a warm and intimate song about body dysmorphia.
I am really enjoying the tone of his voice which is super smooth and soothing, effortlessly drawing our attention to this personal and relatable storytelling. Don't Love Myself is a song about Dylan struggling with his weight and body dysmorphia and how he felt he couldn't talk about it as he feared people would judge him and find him weak. This is a very relatable topic as many of us struggle with the same and I really like how this song is a way for Dylan to show that we're not alone. Apart from his vocals, I am particularly fond of the trap-infused drums which are seamlessly paired with gorgeous guitar riffs and pumping synths that together create an overall warm, intimate atmosphere.

Speaking about the song, Dylan Emmet said,
I’ve struggled with my weight and body dysmorphia my entire life. I’ve never talked about it publicly because I was too scared of judgment and to show weakness. Especially as a guy. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stood in front of the mirror changing my outfits until I was sick to my stomach. I’ve been working hard on changing those thought patterns. I’m sick of letting my insecurities define me or tell me that I’m not enough. I’ve needed a song like this. Something I could put on and feel better in those moments I’m being the most mean to myself. Judging myself. Feeling unworthy. That’s why I made “Don’t Love Myself.” For everyone who’s ever felt that way. So we can remember, we don’t have to do that today.
