"If my life were a song it'd be called 'Here I Am', because here I am - I mean, I'm Thia and I'm here to me me, I'm here to express myself musically, which I find is the best way to express myself"
About this Quote
The charming stumble - “I’m here to me me” - is doing cultural work. It captures the way pop-era selfhood is often performed mid-sentence, built publicly while the cameras are on. Instead of a polished identity statement, you get process: the brain racing, the mouth catching up, the self being assembled out loud. That’s relatable in a landscape where artists are expected to brand themselves with a clean logline. Megia offers the opposite: a live wire of intention.
The subtext is both defiant and slightly vulnerable. “If my life were a song” frames existence as something that needs packaging, a hookable narrative. But she chooses the most stripped-down hook imaginable: sheer arrival. The insistence that music is “the best way to express myself” lands like a soft shield, too - less an aesthetic theory than a protective claim. When words wobble, the music will hold. In the context of audition culture and pop pipelines, that’s a survival strategy: don’t over-explain the person; let the performance do the proving.
