about

ABOUT:
The dark-pop/rock anthem for when you're feeling trapped. "Caged Animal" invites listeners to reclaim their power and revel in being 'untameable.' Its dark, soulful sound evokes artists like Adele, Hozier, GAYLE, Miley Cyrus, or Fitz & the Tantrums, but Betty Jane’s freedom-inspiring refrain is in a soulful category all its own.

lyrics

LYRICS:
Blood churns, eyes on fire
Watching the world burn from behind this wire
Raging, “Set me free”
But still I’m waiting in captivity

Is this all life is really about?
Well then let me out

Got me in a cage like I am some kind of animal
Babe despite it I’m still untameable
Honey don’t you know
If you love something – you gotta let it go

I’m not just some fun
Endangered species for your collection
I got things to do
Can’t be domesticated just for you

Is this all life is really about?
Well then let me out

Got me in a cage like I am some kind of animal
Babe despite it I’m still untameable
Honey don’t you know
If you love something – you gotta let it go

Instinct tells me it’s natural - wild creatures attack
If you don’t let me out to prowl, well, I ain’t holdin back!

Got me in a cage like I am some kind of animal
Babe despite it I’m still untameable
Honey don’t you know
If you love something you gotta let it outta this

Cage like I am some kind of animal
Babe despite it I’m still untameable
Honey don’t you know
If you love something – you gotta let it go

about

Betty Jane New York, New York

One of Betty Jane’s earliest memories is flipping through her dad’s soul vinyl collection. Despite years of classical studies, BJ eventually found herself immersed in jazz, rock, & soul.

Those influences are evident in her songs. BJ mixes retro soul, vintage girl group, & edgy pop rock to create a modern version of the tunes you'd find her family enjoying years ago.
