Don’t Forget Who You Are: Lyrics Just like the sun I’m made to shine There might be clouds but I’ll break through Just like the stars we will align No matter the weather we will do what we do Is there a reason why we’ve got so many scars In my brain and hidden in my heart There’s always reasons for the likes of me and you We see the world differently Don’t forget who you are Don’t forget who you are Don’t forget who you are Don’t forget who you are When you try to spread your wings but you don’t think you can fly When you’re stuck to the ground and you wanna touch the sky When you got so many questions and you don’t know why I’ll be there for you I’m scared of talking my hysterical head Distraction’s better than the truth it’s said Human kindness is rarely seen Hearts of gold won’t give up dreams Don’t forget who you are Don’t forget who you are Don’t forget who you are Don’t forget who you are Don’t forget who you are Don’t forget who you are Don’t forget who you are Don’t forget who you are Just like the sun I’m made to shine There might be clouds but I’ll break through Just like the stars we will align No matter the weather we will do what we do

about

2011 Britain’s Got Talent winner, Jai McDowall’s brand-new charity single, Don’t Forget Who You Are, is set for digital release on Monday 10th May 2021 via Sun Turtle Records. Don’t Forget Who You Are was written as a demo in early 2020 by the then sixteen-year-old Ayrshire College music student Leah Batty as part of a songwriting competition and has since been developed into an anthemic modern pop song with a powerful lyrical message focusing on Mental Health Awareness. The single will be released in association with The Kris Boyd Charity and Ayrshire College’s Passing Positivity initiative with all proceeds being donated to charity.

Don’t Forget Who You Are was produced, recorded and mixed by David McAulay (King Creosote, Mogwai) at Ayrshire College’s Rockpool Studios and was mastered by Paul Savage (Mogwai, The Twilight Sad) at Chem19 Recording Studio. The artwork, which was hand-picked by Jai McDowall was designed by eleven-year-old Prestwick Academy student Fraser Ferguson as part of an Ayrshire wide competition and portrays a similar message to the song’s lyrical content and to Ayrshire College’s International Green Gown Awards winning initiative Passing Positivity, which was set up to help improve the mental health and wellbeing of students, staff, and Ayrshire’s wider community.

Ayrshire College’s Music & Sound Production Department have played a big part in the release. Sun Turtle Records is a student run record label, and the track was produced in the college’s Rockpool Studios. An exclusive podcast is set for release through Rockpool Podcasts featuring discussions with Jai McDowall, Kris Boyd, Leah Batty and staff from the college explaining the process of how the collaboration came together. The B-Side was produced by former Ayrshire College Sound Production student Daniel Beattie, aka Bluewave, from Saltcoats, who’s synth-pop interpretation adds glorious new textures.
