Abby Nissenbaum – Why Does No One Want Me

Nashville-based LGBTQ+ indie-rock artist Abby Nissenbaum releases her  newest single “Why Does No One Want Me,” leading up to her EP due out in June.

Nissenbaum writes from the heart, exploring  themes of depression, isolation, and heartbreak, but anchored by messages of hope, empowerment, and community. Complemented by her effortlessly honest and raw vocal delivery, Nissenbaum offers relatable, honest and heartfelt lyricism amidst catchy melodies, beautifully contrasting the energetic indie-rock soundscape which surrounds her.

Nissenbaum reveals,   “I actually wrote ‘Why Does No One Want Me’ as a confidence anthem to pitch to an artist who leans more toward the R&B end of the music spectrum. The song’s original premise was more aligned with, ‘I’m so great, why wouldn’t anyone want me?’ However, I ended up liking the melody so much that I kept the song for myself (sorry!) and changed up some of the lyrics, most notably the chorus, to reflect my typical ‘sad girl anthem’ vibe. Why Does No One Want Me still retains its original sass in the verses and some fun turns of phrase, but the chorus hints at a deeper fear that I think many people my age are feeling: ‘In the age of app swiping and quick validation over real connection, am I destined to be alone forever?’”
