Authority

Is a two-minute protest poem written in 2021, voiced for a world learning to speak up.
Rooted in frustration with corruption and the denial of basic dignity, the piece explores how power distorts empathy; and how the smallest human need, dignity and the respect that follows, becomes revolutionary when denied.

It draws from the spirit of movements past and present.

Authority is not a political manifesto but a philosophical one; a demand for the bare minimum from people and systems that have forgotten their humanity.

Behind the Song

Written in 2021, in my twenties, out of anger and helplessness in my home city of Hyderabad, this track began as a personal outcry — a way to process what powerlessness felt like.

Four years later, in 2025, while living in London and watching the world shift through new waves of protest and awakening, I returned to it.

This time, the intention was different: not just to write it, but to release it — to let others hear that same frustration, hope, and demand for dignity that still echoes today.

In January 2026, we invited people on Instagram to suggest titles. After shortlisting four options, I put them to a public vote. Authority won with 55%, and became the title of the track.
