Ligi has released her powerful new single, “Cross,” an Afro-fusion track that transforms personal struggle into an anthem of endurance and grace. Now streaming on all platforms, the song emerged from a “heavy season” of solitude, written in a moment when giving up felt easier than moving forward.
Instead of surrendering to the pressure, Ligi chose to write the song, resulting in a soulful blend of warmth and weight. Her lyrics are open about feeling tested, with lines like, “life just kept throwing numerous crosses my way,” reflecting her personal pain and overwhelm. Yet, her voice remains steady, grounded in optimism and self-worth.
The single is anchored by affirmations of joy and purpose, such as, “I go chop my life,” a decision to keep moving with grace, regardless of the burden. As Ligi puts it, she chose not to give up, deciding she would “slay in any situation, good or bad”.
“Cross” serves as a companion for hard days, a soundtrack that encourages listeners to embrace the idea that gratitude and grit can grow in the same soil. By sharing her choice to persevere, Ligi encourages others to do the same.
