Salem Ilese – Team Sport

Today, Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Salem Ilese opens up about a one-sided relationship in “Team Sport” via 10K Projects

“Team Sport” is a raw, unfiltered pop anthem that explores Salem’s internal monologue regarding a one-sided relationship. Inspired by the iconic 00s pop-rock sound, Salem Ilese is diving deep into her emotions creating one of the most personal tracks she’s made to date. Salem perfectly captures the emotional rollercoaster of forcing a relationship to work rather than letting it flow. She adds:

“Team Sport is about being in a one-sided relationship. It’s one of those rare songs that started out with the first verse. I usually write the chorus first, but this song began with the idea “there’s no “i” in love.” Relationships really are a team sport, whether it be romantic or otherwise. The production of this song is one of my favorites on the album. It feels very raw and emotional, and leans into my actual music taste, which is primarily alt rock. The instrumentation is mostly live, which I also appreciate.”
