Alli Brown’s “My Own Superhero” is a song focus on self-empowerment that one is their own hero. Broadly, the song’s central theme is about liberation from dependency and standing tall on one’s own feet, which is commendable.

The first lines start with the description of people who are in a stagnant position, wanting to see someone who is out and enjoying life when the one who is waiting has some issues of their own. Brown imagines a breakthrough that is lifting one up from all the bad days. This brings us to the most commendable part of the song. The lead vocalist states that she is going to be her ‘own superhero’ and take charge of her life. One of the most empowering lines in the song is ‘I’ll save myself when I need to’ which has pretty much the same meaning and significance than the previous lines.

The next verses carry the same ambient as the previous ones, only this time it is very much due to their inner transformation rather than to the changes in environment. They embrace the fact that everyone makes mistakes and is learning from those mistakes and that because of certain sadness, the sadness that she is feeling there is a chance for a new beginning. Brown’s lyrics seem to encourage something positive in the outlook and moving forward ‘I can tackle all my demons’ seem to highlight a new behavioral way of approaching things even with the struggles she is now having inside.

Above all, the lyrics of “My Own Superhero” are an encouragement that we all possess the means to rescue ourselves and find the inner strength. Brown intends not to gimmick though, more to reason up as this is the final message he is istend to for heroics: do not wait for someone to come and rescue you. Now, every one of us is and should be able to come up on occasions.
