I wrote this short song in about 10 min, after I received a text from someone I used to date who ghosted me. I knew he wasnt checking in on me because he cared about me, so when he said “I just care about your music” I lost it. I told him he didn’t care about my music or my heart. I got so mad about it that when I sat down with my guitar, Dime a Dozen came out like a song in a musical. Direct, conversational, and dramatic.

When I started playing the song out, I watched as women would viscerally react to some of the lyrics as I was singing it. In particular, the line “you just thought I’d make a good wife/maybe I’d become your mother.” It was empowering to feel like I wrote something that women could relate to.

Dime a dozen is not really a song about the one person, but a song about all the male musicians I’ve interacted with throughout my career. It’s hard be believed as a woman in a male dominated industry, and at a certain point I felt fed up. "Dime a Dozen" is a song about a musician who has had enough of the boys club.
