“Do You Believe Me Now?”
Today, indie-pop duo MACEDO, (twin sisters Michelle and Melissa Macedo), released their new single + video “Do You Believe Me Now?,” an upbeat feminist anthem that explores a look back at college harassment post the MeToo movement. The track is a call to action for anyone with their own story to tell.
Michelle Macedo expands, “This story is about a college experience of intrusion and harassment. After looking back after the MeToo movement and on the heels of Title IX, it’s a reflection of a scary experience we had shortly after starting college. On our own and independent for the first time, we too quickly discovered the realities of a world that consistently fails to protect women in situations where they are unsafe on campus. This song comments on the fact that oftentimes, when the damage has been done and is allowed to keep continuing by people in power, it is too late when we are later vindicated in others finally saying out loud this person is a danger to women."
