Sophie Egan Battles Her “Imposter Syndrome” With Powerful New Single

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (December 10, 2020) – Pop singer-songwriter Sophie Egan released her latest single “Imposter Syndrome” on December 10. Egan came up with the song idea when she learned about the term. Imposter syndrome is a psychological pattern where a person doubts their talents, skills, and accomplishments with fear of being exposed as a fraud. People can have imposter syndrome in any situation from work to friendships to hobbies. “I had never heard of it and realized I had felt like a fraud or an imposter so many times throughout my life,” says Egan. “Then I heard this melody in my head and started singing lyrics that ended up becoming both verses.” She immediately wrote down every thought she had and these thoughts ended up becoming the two verses of the song. Egan brought the song up to her home studio and started mapping the song on the chalkboard wall. Writing and producing all of the music with her brother Harry, they quickly put together a powerful track that not only has creatively unique lyrics, but also impactful and strategic production. “I wanted it to sound the way it feels to be aware of your imposter syndrome but not knowing how to stop it,” says Egan.
