Sharon Van Etten has debuted a new track, 'Used To It'.
Her second single of 2022, it follows up on the previously released 'Porta'.
Originally written when asked to create a score for HBO documentary Baby God, about a fertility specialist who takes it upon himself to impregnate women with his own sperm, Van Etten explains: “Ultimately, the film team changed their musical direction, but I found myself welcomely challenged to the idea of writing a song about the concept of family, connection through blood, nature vs. nurture, while attempting to incorporate ideas of love and the complexities of science and technology,” explains Van Etten. “I am grateful for this song to be able to have a new life, relating more to the times we have all been living through and redefining the meaning of this song by focusing on the positives of seeking connection and understanding what family means to the individual.”
It comes alongside a video created by musical director and bandmate Charley Damski, and features the dancer and choreographer Hayden J Frederick.
Van Etten adds: “Together, they helped me convey the feelings of internal struggles, while also finding space for oneself and embracing that pain in order to move on.”
