The pop songstress isn’t an amateur musician. Since she was five years old she has been pursuing music, learning to play several different instruments and achieving a five-octave vocal range. Of the latest track, Dakota shares, “‘So What’ is not caring about the crazy world we live in and focusing all attention on the person you love. In long-distance relationships, people don’t get to see each other that often, so spending as much time with them as possible, even if that means missing your flight, is totally worth it. Taking risks is the fun part of a relationship and makes it even more special.” With its energetic rhythm and flirtatious lyrics, “So What” channels the fun and peppy experience of a long-distance relationship and is sure to be an addition to everyone’s summertime playlists.
