Hayat Selim - She's All Of That (Official Music Video)
"She's All Of That is an ode to every multi-tasking woman out there fighting for the multiple aspects of life she wants to maintain despite the pressures and myths of the superiority of single-tasking"
Special thanks to Dasha Shenkman OBE, supporter of the 2019 "In Tunes With Feminist Times" event at the Royal Academy of Arts, for which this song was created and premiered.

LYRICS
She tosses and turns in the middle of the night
Her urges, her nature she no longer wants to fight
Her heart's multiple desires feel wrong, almost sinful
She is way past the point where life can be simple
She wakes up distressed every single morning
There is more than one thing she is yearning for
But then again she is told every single every single day
"To perfection, girl, you must take one way"
Would she open her eyes?
Would she realise?
She can be this, she can be all of that
Our world was round when they thought it flat
It needn't be one way or the other
Every book of greatness has a different cover
She can be the warrior, she can be the singer
She can be the mother, not a thing should hinder
She's all of that, marvellously all of that
It terrifies her from time to time
Not always finding the right rhyme
Why does she overlook the beauty in what she does
Her tunes overshadowed by clouds of buzz
Would she open her eyes and just realise?
She can be this, she can be all of that
Our world was round when they thought it flat
It needn't be one way or the other
Every book of greatness has a different cover
She can be the warrior, she can be the singer
she can be the mother, not a thing should hinder
She's all of that, marvellously all of that
Lean on the side you feel like
Limitless underneath the skies
Would you finally see your gift?
Your path is clear and swift
She can be this, she can be all of that
Our world was round when they thought it flat
It needn't be one way or the other
every book of greatness has a different cover
She can be the warrior, she can be the singer
she can be the mother, not a thing should hinder
She's all of that, she is all of that
She is all of that, marvellously all of that
