Own Me
Cameron Hayes
WE SAY
There’s something undeniably intoxicating about 'Own Me', the latest single from Reading-born singer-songwriter Cameron Hayes. Blending emotional vulnerability with a club-ready production that refuses to stand still, it’s a sleek slice of British dance-pop with a modern edge, carrying echoes of Girls Aloud's 'Sound of the Underground'. Released today (12 September), the track dives into the obsessive push-and-pull of a situationship – lust blurring into love, detachment colliding with desire. With its propulsive energy and Hayes’ commanding vocal at the centre, 'Own Me' featured on Spotify's NMF and New Pop playlists, and feels tailor-made for more DSP playlisting and further Radio 1 support. No stranger to collaboration, Hayes has previously lent her penmanship and voice to Wilkinson, Dimension, Sub Focus and Notion, while her solo releases have drawn support from Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and MTV UK, along with being featured as Next Wave artist on Radio 1. With over 640k monthly listeners, millions of streams, and live appearances spanning Reading & Leeds, Boardmasters and Rolling Stone Beach Germany, she’s equally at home on festival stages as she is in underground clubs. With its propulsive energy and raw emotion, 'Own Me' is further proof that Hayes is an artist to keep an eye on.
