NYC’s rising pop star Paytra has dropped a fierce new anthem, “Good Girls Don’t Make History,” blending rock, funk, and hip-hop into an empowering banger. The track is a sonic rebellion against societal norms, urging women to break free and rewrite the rules.
Paytra’s commanding vocals lead an electrifying mix of dynamic drums and a pulsating bassline, creating a vibe that’s both defiant and celebratory. “I want women to walk away from this song feeling unstoppable,” Paytra says. “It’s about embracing our power and rewriting the rules.” The lyrics hit hard, with lines like: “Stand up and look around, we all can wear the crown. Get loud ‘cause I believe, good girls don’t make history.”
Teaming up with frequent collaborator Eric Michael Cohen, Paytra channels the rebellious spirit of Avril Lavigne and Demi Lovato. Together, they deliver a powerful call to action against injustice, packaged in an infectious and energetic sound.
Paytra’s brand identity is equally fierce, blending elements of a modern-day superhero and a disruptive force in the music industry. Her style is an audacious mix of high fashion and streetwear, embodying a feminine incarnation of Batman with the tenacity of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The artist leverages creative social media hooks like #goodgirlsdontmakehistory and #thefutureisfemale to engage her audience, challenging the status quo and celebrating female empowerment. This strategy is part of Paytra’s broader effort to connect with a socially conscious and progressive fan base, predominantly women and queer individuals in their 20s and 30s.
Paytra’s music is a fearless fusion of pop, hip-hop, R&B, and funk. Her lyrics tackle sexism, racism, and LGBTQIA+ rights, while her beats remain fun and infectious. Tracks like “Good Girls Don’t Make History” showcase her ability to blend serious messages with dance-worthy rhythms.
“Good Girls Don’t Make History” is available now on all major streaming platforms, solidifying Paytra’s place as a voice for change in the music industry. As she continues to rise, her mission remains clear: to inspire and empower those who feel marginalized, to stand against oppression, and to champion the voices of women and queer individuals. Paytra is not just making music, she’s making history.
