SPOTSYLVANIA, VA (March 28, 2025) — Hev’s Journey is back with another powerful single, "Sinking," on March 28th. Blending Pop and RnB, the track dives deep into themes of self-worth and emotional resilience, offering listeners an honest glimpse into the struggles of navigating toxic relationships and finding the strength to reclaim your own identity.
"Sinking" captures the painful realization of pouring everything into a relationship where the love wasn’t returned. It’s a journey of loss, growth, and ultimately, empowerment.

The emotional weight behind the track speaks to anyone who's ever felt like they were losing themselves for someone else.
“I wrote ‘Sinking’ when I felt like I was losing someone I had poured everything into," says Hev. "I loved when they didn’t love back or appreciate what I gave. Throughout this journey, I realized that I am worth more, and I am unwilling to give up who I am."
"This song resonates because it’s something everyone goes through—the push and pull of emotions. Each of us has to decide whether to stay true to ourselves or become what others want us to be."
