Asa doesn’t scream or exaggerate in her track “Murder In The USA”; she tells the story with calm honesty, the kind that makes every line feel heavier than the last. Her tone is soft, almost trembling, as if she is replaying the events in her mind while singing them out loud.
She guides the listener through the emotional crime scene, not a physical murder, but the death of love, trust, and innocence. The “murder” becomes a metaphor for a relationship that turned toxic, dangerous, and spiritually suffocating.

It all happened so fast I can't recall
Police men everywhere nowhere to run
It took awhile but I came out of hiding with my hands up
They say, if you know what's good for you come on out with your hands up
I've been running
Can't run no more
Got blood on my hands yeah
Who's gonna save me now
I shot my lover and I ran away
Committed murder in the USA
Who's gonna save me now
Who's gonna help me now
I shot my lover and I ran away
I didn't mean it to go this way
No no no
It all happened so fast we can't undone
We'd just made love and it was so pure
And then my phone started ringing
You saw a name and got crazy
Nothing I said was true you chose I didn't love you
Now I'm in trouble
Big big trouble
Got blood on my hands yeah
Who's gonna save me now
I shot my lover and I ran away
Committed murder in the USA
Who's gonna save me now
Who's gonna help me now
I shot my lover and I ran away
Didn't mean it to go this way
No no no
You and I
We were meant to be
Still in love going strong
In a perfect world
Guess I will be seeing you soon now
They say I got to face the chair now
Oh no no no
Wish I could turn back time
Who's gonna save me now
I shot my lover and I ran away
Baby I didn't mean it to go this way
Yeah yeah yeah
(Save me now)
(Run away)
Committed murder in the USA
Who's gonna save me now
Who's gonna help me now
I shot my lover and I ran away
Didn't mean it to go this way
No no no
Who's gonna save me now
I shot my lover and I ran away
Committed murder in the USA
Who's gonna save me now
Who's gonna help me now
I shot my lover and I ran away
Didn't mean it to go this way
