‘Unconfident’ by Spencer William
‘Unconfident’ is a sing-a-long pop anthem for everyone who has ever felt anxious or insecure. It’s a song about not feeling good enough, paired with bombastic, electronic, marching band-esque production.
Feeling self-conscious and unloveable is something everyone experiences, and ‘Unconfident’ turns those feelings into something to dance to rather than be ashamed of.
‘Unconfident’ was written by Spencer William and Emily Terran, and produced by Spencer William.
“Spencer Wiliam’s honest brand of pop music drew us in from his first release, and now he’s done it again on his newest single ‘Unconfident.’ He shares the kind of thing you’d hear from a close friend about not feeling themself. With themes of imposter syndrome, insecurity, and anxiety, ‘Unconfident’ reminds us that we’re not alone when we question ourselves.”

Verse 1
Sometimes I cry on my way to see
My friends ‘cause I think they lie to me
But I still try to believe the nice things they say
(Ey ey yeah)
Verse 2
Some days I don’t get up out of bed
Just me alone with a voice in my head
Telling me “nobody cares”, it won’t go away
(Ey ey yeah)
Pre-Chorus 1
I wake up in the middle of the night
In a cold sweat
Thinking they all know I’m faking it
I don’t think I’ll never get it right
I’ll never make it
Chorus
‘Cause I’m a little, I’m a little unconfident
I-I, I-I’m a little, I’m a little unconfident
I-I, I-I’m a little, I’m a little uncomfortable in my skin
I-I’m a little, I’m a little unconfident
(I’m a little unconfident)
Verse 3
Can anyone tell me how to stop
Waiting for the other shoe to drop?
Can’t blame no one when it’s me that ruins my day
(Ey ey yeah)
Pre-Chorus 2
I wake up in the middle of the night
In a cold sweat
Thinking they all know I’m faking it
I don’t think I even wanna try
I’ll never make it
Chorus
‘Cause I’m a little, I’m a little unconfident
I-I, I-I’m a little, I’m a little unconfident
I-I, I-I’m a little, I’m a little uncomfortable in my skin
I-I’m a little, I’m a little unconfident
(I’m a little unconfident)
Bridge
Can’t help it
Can’t help it
Can’t help that I’m a little unconfident
Can’t help it
Can’t help it
Can’t help that I’m a little unconfident
Can’t help it
Can’t help it
Can’t help that I’m a little unconfident
Can’t help it
Can’t help it
Chorus
‘Cause I’m a little, I’m a little unconfident
I-I, I-I’m a little, I’m a little unconfident
I-I, I-I’m a little, I’m a little uncomfortable in my skin
I-I’m a little, I’m a little unconfident
(I’m a little unconfident)
Chorus
‘Cause I’m a little, I’m a little unconfident
I-I, I-I’m a little, I’m a little unconfident
I-I, I-I’m a little, I’m a little uncomfortable in my skin
I-I’m a little, I’m a little unconfident
(I’m a little unconfident)
Biography
Spencer William is a songwriter/producer-turned-artist whose music sounds like shouting your worst fears off a mountaintop through a vocoder.
Like the lovechild of Sam Smith and Jon Bellion, Spencer crafts raucously insecure left-of-center pop that’s simultaneously introspective and tongue-in-cheek. He is unafraid to delve into the difficult emotions that everybody experiences, letting his haunting voice soar over glittering synthetic soundscapes with a razor edge.
Spencer began writing and producing in late 2014 and studied at Berklee College of Music under legends like Kara DioGuardi (Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, P!nk) and Bonnie Hayes (Bonnie Raitt).
After Berklee, Spencer dove headfirst into the New York music scene, writing and producing for artists including Jessie Chambers, Annika Grace, Lyon Hart, Mathes, and Emily Terran.
