mxmtoon Enlists Carly Rae Jepsen for New Song “ok on your own”: Listen

Oakland-raised, Brooklyn-based artist mxmtoon has shared a new song with Carly Rae Jepsen. The new track is called “ok on your own,” and it appears on mxmtoon’s dusk EP, which arrives October 1. Listen to “ok on your own” below.

“I was beyond excited to work on this track and have it be graced by Carly Rae Jepsen, someone who stands for empowerment and knows the themes of love and loneliness all too well,” mxmtoon said in a press release. She added:  

My hope for the song is that “ok on your own” can let people know that vulnerability is never something to be afraid of, and admitting you need time for yourself and support from a friend is sometimes a necessary step.

Sometimes relationships aren’t meant to work. It’s a bitter reality that many of us come to terms with at one point or another, but we all have to realize our own self worth before letting certain people into our lives! “ok on your own” is your reminder that stepping away from a relationship isn’t a sign of weakness, but rather one of strength!

In addition to her forthcoming EP, mxmtoon is launching the first episode of a new daily podcast on September 14. The program is titled 365 days with mxmtoon.
