Youth indie-rock band, Rooted, has released their new single “Dime a Dozen” which you won’t want to miss. The new single reflects the heavyweight feeling of negativity surrounding us in the world, and the urge to let those problems go, to be hopeful instead. Driven by an optimistic tone and sincere lyrics, “Dime a Dozen” is a catchy indie-pop rock tune that is guaranteed to be a hit.

“It seems like every day we face new problems, drama and even conflict in our lives. If we let all the negativity get to us it can really weigh anyone down and lead to a state of anxiety and depression,” says Shalom Maddox Lim, Rooted’s singer-songwriter. 

“‘Dime a Dozen’ is about letting those problems go and freeing and distancing ourselves and choosing to stay positive and hopeful instead,” Lim further explains. When becoming overwhelmed with what life throws at us, this heartfelt melody can put us back on track. The soft vocals combined with calm instrumentals create a sense of hopefulness to bring meaning to the track. 

Rooted’s solid new track embraces genuine emotion through its lyrics, and instrumentals. This song exemplifies exactly what the young Asian-American band was aiming for, bringing attention to feelings people can relate to. “Dime a Dozen” is about distancing ourselves from negativity, and having the strength to remain positive and hopeful, no longer hanging on to the weight of conflict.
