Ahead of the release of her third album, ‘If I Get In, Where Would I Go?’, the multi-talented Greta Stanley shows off more of the record’s charm with new single, Greatest Hit.
An infectious slice of pop music that represents Stanley’s natural talents as a songwriter, Greatest Hit navigates a central theme of relationships; both with someone else, as well as with oneself. A song about self-love and the importance of prioritising your health and happiness in all its forms, Greatest Hit is a dynamic track that speaks to the broader narrative of Stanley’s forthcoming album project.
Produced, recorded and mixed by Cheekbone at his studio in Townsville, Greatest Hit received final mastering by Andrei Eremin (G Flip, Baker Boy). Says Stanley of the track, initial inspiration came from listening to artists including Petey and Medium Build.
“This song kind of has a double meaning, it’s about knowing that you have a lot to offer someone, and you finally found someone who doesn’t take that for granted, but it’s also a song to myself, about self love, and really working on the relationship you have with yourself. How, when you overcome these challenging things that keep you down, you could really show up for yourself; you could write that song, you could be that person that talks you up instead of down. It’s about the half of you that gets hidden when you get too deep in the dark shit in your brain, and when you work really hard (therapy, breaking habits, whatever!) you get to see this version of yourself you know you could be, and you know is someone you don’t want to keep hidden all the time.” – GRETA STANLEY
Working on oneself in order to reach a sense of peace and contentment, is a theme that is found throughout ‘If I Can Get In…’ It is an album built around Stanley’s observations on mental, physical and emotional health; charting her own journey in overcoming obstacles that have affected all three within her life in recent years.
Greatest Hit represents a moment for Stanley where she herself has been working on finding the best version of herself – in acknowledging that this is an ongoing process, she has discovered a Greta Stanley that she has been loving getting to know.
“I think this song is so fun, and it’s entering the stage of the album where we’re in this process of working through our shit mentally. I’m going to therapy, I’m reflecting on my behaviour and my role in things. I’m trying not to fall back into unhealthy eating patterns, or really big pits of depression. It’s bloody hard work, but the person I know I am beneath it is someone I really like.” – GRETA STANLEY
To date, Stanley’s catalogue has grown over 30 million streams across platforms. It boasts a stacked resume of collaborations alongside her dynamic collection of solo-led material, including Stay In Your Lane with Bronson Diamond; The Come Down with Robbie Miller and Bottle It Up with Riley Pearce.
Having toured extensively as a headliner and support artist for Australian favourites including Amy Shark, Tash Sultana, The Rubens and more; Stanley’s status as a formidable live performer has extended to the festival circuit, nailing impressive appearances at events including Yours and Owls Festival, Groovin The Moo, BIGSOUND and more.
