Willow Smith, the daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, may be young but she certainly knows what she wants from life: the freedom to express herself.

Above is her latest video, for the brand new single “I Am Me.”

It might sound far-fetched to hear that a child can sing about staying true to yourself and freedom in such a convincing fashion, yet Willow does it brilliantly.

“Express myself cause it's my liberty / I’ve been lookin' / Your validation is just not that important to me,” she sings at one point.

Useless to say, “I Am Me” also marks a departure in sound from previous releases, further confirming that Willow is already maturing as an artist.
