"I prefer to sing in the shower 'cause the acoustics are really, really good, I mean, when you're singing against the tile walls then you really hear yourself, hear your voice, you know, throwing itself back at you"
About this Quote
The subtext is about control and confidence. "You really hear yourself" isn't just audio description; it's a small manifesto for self-monitoring, the private rehearsal where you can test runs, push volume, and mess up without an audience. The phrase "throwing itself back at you" makes the voice feel almost like a second person - an alter ego that answers, judges, and reassures. It's an intimate loop: you sing, the room returns it, and for a moment you get to believe your own performance.
Context matters here: Megia comes from the post-Idol era, when "having a voice" became both a literal skill and a personal brand. The shower becomes the democratic studio, a place where aspiration is cheap and immediate. Tile walls don't just reflect sound; they reflect the fantasy of readiness - like you're always one good take away from being the version of yourself you hear in your head.
