“No Cinderella” – An Anthem of Female Independence (video)

Released in 2021, No Cinderella is a bold, unapologetic ode to women’s independence and self-definition. More than just a song, it serves as an empowering anthem for women who have always felt the urge to break free from societal expectations and outdated stereotypes. At its heart, the track celebrates confidence, self-acceptance, and the determination to live authentically—on one’s own terms.

From its very first lines—“Times change, things move on, some things go fast, some go slow, this is how my life goes”—the song sets a tone of resilience and self-awareness. These opening words invite listeners to reflect on the inevitability of change while affirming the freedom to chart one’s own path.

The chorus delivers the song’s most powerful declaration, with Elly proclaiming: “I’ll take my chance for worse or better, step aside, I’m no Cinderella”

The music video features three women, including Elly herself, who represent different aspects of her identity. The video combines graceful movement with bold, streetwise confidence. Together, they symbolize a balance of spirit, intellect, and strength, celebrating the beauty of authenticity and individuality.

Importantly, Elly is not dismissive of men; rather, she emphasizes the need for complementary partnership—someone who uplifts her spirit and respects her independence. What she rejects is the notion of perfectionist fairytales, instead urging women to pursue their own aspirations and embrace life fully, on their terms.

No Cinderella isn’t just a song—it’s a statement. A reminder to women everywhere that their worth and power come from within, not from fitting into traditional molds or scripted stories.
