Penyanyi Indonesia yang bergabung di 88rising, Stephanie Poetri, kembali dengan lagu baru setelah melepas album mini debut AM:PM pada Maret 2021.

Picture Myself jadi judul lagu terbarunya yang merupakan kolaborasi dengan produser M-Phazes (Madonna, Demi Lovato, Kehlani) dan penulis Sarah Aarons (Zedd, Flume, Jessie Ware).

Nostalgia dan kerinduan terjalin dalam setiap kata Picture Myself, saat Stephanie menghadapi gejolak emosi perihal hubungan jarak jauh.

Stephanie bernyanyi dengan gitar akustik yang dipetik dengan lembut dan melodi synth yang hangat.

Lagu ini juga menangkap kerapuhan dan ketidakpastian karena berada jauh dari orang yang dicintai.

Hal ini terungkap dalam video klip Picture Myself yang disutradarai Eileen Yoon. Memperlihatkan Stephanie di sekitar New York City, melakukan hal-hal yang biasa dia lakukan dengan pasangannya tapi sekarang sendirian.

Menurut Stephanie, Picture Myself mewakilkan rasanya hubungan jarak jauh dan terus-menerus bertanya-tanya apakah ini layak atau tidak.

"Sebagai seseorang yang mengalami hubungan jarak jauh, rasanya lagu ini benar-benar menangkap siklus kekhawatiran dan kehilangan serta kebingungan," ujar dia.

Lirik Lagu Picture Myself dari Stephanie Poetri

My heart is sinking

Heart in my throat

Drowning in your old leather coat

And now I spend my weekends alone

And think of all that I did now that I don't

You moved out the West

And I moved to the city,

Made separate beds

But I still hold you in my chest

When things aren't looking pretty

Wishing you the best

But am I kidding

Myself it's after midnight

Kicking myself for staying

Could I picture myself believing

Picture myself believing

Am I holding the words my head wants to hide

Thinking the worst forever

Could I picture myself believing

Picture myself believing in us

My head says one thing but this feels amazing

Forever is something but together were crazy

You moved out the west and I moved to the city

Made separate beds

But I still hold you in my chest when things aren't Looking pretty

Wishing you the best

Am I kidding myself it's after midnight

Kicking myself to stay in could I

Picture myself believing

Picture myself believing

Am I holding the words my head wants to hide

thinking the worst forever could I

Picture Myself believing

Picture myself believing in us

I don't know why

No, I don't know why

I'm this way

Staying all night

But what if I leave today

And I don't know why

Why I'm afraid to stay
