Erica Knox Turns Self-Doubt Into Empowerment on Vulnerable Soft-Pop Single “Growing Song,” Written at Abbey Road Studios

Toronto-based singer-songwriter Erica Knox continues her Abbey Road Studios story with “Growing Song” – a chill, introspective soft-pop track that balances vulnerability with resilience. Written during her time at the legendary London studio – handpicked as one of three artists to record there through DHL’s FastTrack Sessions – the single lays bare Knox’s moments of self-doubt while celebrating the growth that comes with perseverance.

“It’s a very vulnerable song, highlighting every thought of self-doubt that tends to race through my head,” Knox shares. “Among that comes knowing that things will eventually work out as long as I keep trying to build a happy life, and a strong career for myself.”

The track’s inspiration ties directly to Knox’s journey. After being turned down for the same contest in 2023, she almost didn’t apply again in 2024. But a last-minute submission won her a life-changing opportunity. “A few weeks later I was being flown out to London. I was so proud of myself for making it here and I had to write about the mental challenges leading up to that moment.”

Sonically, “Growing Song” carries inspiration from The Staves’ rich harmonies and open guitar tuning, whose live performance Knox attended the night before writing. The subtle production leans into dreamscape vocal effects and spacious instrumentation, highlighting the lyricism at its core.

Following the singles “Disappointing Me” and “Kerosene” – both also tied to her time at Abbey Road Studios – Erica Knox continues to build toward her highly anticipated debut EP, out later this year. Nostalgic, honest, and quietly powerful, “Growing Song” captures the pride of resilience and the beauty of growth.
