The outcome is a musical diary entry that paints a vivid picture of early adulthood's chaos, personal reckoning, and unforeseen strength. Within “for your entertainment,” the Nashville-based singer/songwriter transforms the messiness of life into something enchanting, soulful, and instantly memorable.
It’s sweet, moving, and gentle—and it’s through this gentleness that Savanna Leigh discovers her power, boldly stepping into her own strength.
for your entertainment – Savanna Leigh
I’m clearing my thoughts
I can’t depend on instinct
I’m just a hazy line
Kinda like it
Turn me upside down
I’ll be the star, your entertainment
We’re embracing chaos now
Kinda like it
Do you enjoy it when
it’s not your life that’s on show
get what you desire then walk away
maybe I should learn to do the same.

“‘for your entertainment,’ the title track of my new EP, was the most intentional song I crafted for this project,” Leigh shares with Atwood Magazine. “I aimed for it to unify all the emotions and themes that flow through the other tracks—self-discovery, heartbreak, resilience, and learning to let go of control. This entire project revolves around figuring out who you are amidst the mess of life and your twenties, managing everyone else's expectations while desiring to remain authentic. It’s about embracing that chaos and discovering strength in navigating it genuinely.”
“This EP represents my acceptance of the idea that loosening your hold on life—releasing the belief that your future and present are entirely in your control—brings true freedom. There is something unexpectedly beautiful on the other side of letting go.”
That essence of surrender resonates throughout the song’s chorus, where she sings:
with the sun in my eyes
I can’t see where to go
never felt more alive
aim for the highs
and learn from the lows
it’s all coming undone
so I’ll stop trying to hold
on for my dear life
maybe that’s fine
it’s part of the show.

Her lyrics serve as a mantra—an anthem of resilience and becoming, capturing the bittersweet, vibrant chaos of youth. Rich, layered vocals harmonize in unison, reflecting the internal struggle between control and release, clarity and confusion.
Leigh describes it as a front-row view of the turmoil in her mind. “‘for your entertainment’ is essentially my journey through the complexities of my early twenties in real-time,” she elaborates. “It addresses themes of heartbreak, independence, longing, growing pains, best friend breakups, and ultimately what it means to reconnect with yourself amid the chaos. I wanted it to feel like my fans or anyone listening is getting a front-row experience of the circus in my mind, presented in a way that is self-aware, sincere, and authentically me… it’s genuine but doesn’t take itself too seriously.”
all of my old habits
lately I don’t even miss them
feels like half my mind
is apathetic
‘cause it’s my life that’s on display
take what you want then walk away
maybe I should learn to do the same.
