Provident Label Group and Story House Collective have released “Mean Girls,” the poignant new music video from singer and songwriter Leanna Crawford. “Mean Girls,” her current radio single, is featured on her self-titled six-song EP debut with the label. Sharing the message of the song, Crawford explains, “The words we use are powerful. Some words can build people up while other hurtful words can tear them down. Sadly, we’ve all experienced the latter and it’s those words that we just can’t seem to get out of heads no matter how old we are. I wrote this song as a prayer for myself but also for you because sometimes we need to be reminded that our worth is so much more than words.”
She also partnered with Hope Squad for the music video release. Hope Squad is a school-based, peer-to-peer suicide prevention program with the goal to reduce youth suicide through education, training, and peer intervention. Hope Squad members are nominated by their classmates as trustworthy peers and trained by advisors. Working together, there is HOPE that suicide can be prevented. Find out more at www.hopesquad.com. Crawford will also be featured as the assembly speaker for Hope Squad’s annual Day of Hope taking place February 12.

Lyrics: Mean Girls
Mean girls don’t remember what they said
It’s funny cuz I can’t seem to forget
Their whispers opened up the door
To a world called insecure
No, mean girls don’t remember what they said
Stick and stones may break my bones
But no one ever warned me about words
I smile and I pretend it doesn’t hurt
But the older that I get it just gets worse
Lord, find me and remind me that my worth
Is worth so much more than their words
You say I’m more than their words
So much more than their words
I need you to find
The little girl inside that picture frame
Was smiling cuz she never heard of shame
But now mean girls are the reason why
I change my clothes a thousand times
Before I walk out the door
