Marah on how the song came about:

“I wrote this song after receiving the track from my manager, Barry "MAGNUM" Darden. When I first heard it, I immediately could tell it was different from any other record I've worked on before and I really couldn't see myself cutting it. However, I kept replaying the instrumental until I was able to see a vision for it. I put this song to a conceptual image. It became a cat and mouse situation filtered by the idea of a magician putting on a show.

Basically, it's centered around being emotionally toyed with in a relationship. Being aware of what is happening, but choosing not to leave. It's almost as if this person is trying to figure out the reason behind their partner's toxic mindset. I filled these lyrics with metaphors and symbolism, that will later connect to other songs. This was loosely based on feelings that I have experienced, as well as my friends and family."

Samoan in descent, Marah Francis BKA Marah is a rising singer/songwriter from West Virginia. Born and raised in Martinsburg, she graduated from Martinsburg High School and is the daughter of a pastor. Citing her father as the person who sparked her love for music, it was the release of Taylor Swift's self titled album that solidified her decision to seriously pursue a recording career. Since then, she's continued to grow in her craft and take inspiration from current staple Pop figures like Halsey and BTS.

Derek Minor Gets "Clean" After Harvard Lecture!

Less than a week removed from his debut lecture at Harvard, BJ The Chicago Kid collaborator and seasoned Nashville rap authority Derek Minor (@thederekminor) unloads his latest single "Clean." Paired with the Will Thomas-directed visual, the record serves as the Reflection Music Group co-founder's premiere release of 2021. The HD Clip finds Minor doing donuts on deserted terrain in a silver Audi with his head out the window reciting the song's lyrics.

Derek on the song:

"2020 wasn’t what any of us expected it would be but now that we are in a new year, it’s only right we leave the past behind and focus on making 2021 ours. 'Clean' puts how we are all feeling into the perfect perspective: we’re not dealing with drama, we’re making our goals happen and not letting anything get in our ways."
