The song “I” by Omah Lay serves as a personal prayer that he offers to himself and his family. In it, he expresses his desire for growth and outlines what he believes he can achieve.
Even when it feels like the world doesn’t believe in his goals and aspirations, he makes it clear that the most important thing is his own self-belief; he trusts that the world will eventually catch up. The song provides a pathway and a platform for listeners to feel motivated and to have faith in themselves.
