Olivia Booth roars back with survival anthem 'I'm Not Yours'

Olivia Booth has never been one to soften the edges of her truth, but 'I'm Not Yours' is a lightning bolt, a boundary drawn in fire, and a voice rising where silence once lived.

From the opening seconds, the song thrums with adrenaline. Drums hit like a pulse returning after shock, guitars snarl with purpose, as Booth’s voice cuts straight through the noise. She threads anger, grief and reclamation into something visceral and liberating. The result is a song that refuses to bend its spine.

What makes 'I'm Not Yours' so powerful is the way she flips the narrative on its head. Instead of lingering in trauma, she turns toward reclamation. That emotional pivot from harm to rising is the heart of the track. Her delivery is both wounded and warrior-like, the kind of performance that leaves us bracing ourselves and breathing deeper by the time it ends.

Musically, the track taps into the scrappy swagger of ‘90s alt-rock and the razor honesty of soul-bearing singer-songwriters. It’s easy to hear why critics have compared her to icons who blend attitude with ache, but what she does here feels sharply her own.

As Manchester’s indie scene continues to swell with new voices, Olivia Booth stands out by refusing to soften the truth. Her work has always carried the DNA of someone unwilling to dilute real emotion for comfort, and this new single may be her clearest example yet.

'I'm Not Yours' is a testament to reclaiming your voice when someone tries to take it. A reminder that survival can sound loud, raw, and utterly triumphant. In a landscape full of safe choices, Olivia Booth shows us the power in choosing to speak up, and in choosing to speak strong.
