Five years after the strongly-panned "Friday", Rebecca Black is back with "The Great Divide". Released along with an accompanying music video, the powerful ballad shows her more mature vocals and music as she sings about leaving behind her ex-boyfriend.
"Dancing on the line/ Of the great divide," she sings through a blue smoke in an empty warehouse. "Wash my hands, turn my back/ I don't need the memories we had/ I'm leaving you behind/ Across the great divide."
In one version of the music video, Black admits in the intro that it's an attempt to prove the haters wrong. "I just wanted to prove everyone wrong, but now that it's here I have that within myself and I don't need that anymore," she says with teary eyes.
She adds, "I think what I'm also most excited about for is there are some of you I've seen stick with me for four or five years now and you've always been so excited and so patient with me, so before the music video starts I wanted to say thank yo to you guys."
