Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Cheryl Waters, host of the Midday Show on KEXP, is "10 for 10" by Cuffed Up, a 2022 single on Corduroy Recordings.
Los Angeles-based trio Cuffed Up return with a punk-pop pep-rally anthem for anyone struggling with imposter syndrome.
"It's deeply rooted in confidence," vocalist and guitarist Ralph Torrefranca told Atwood Magazine. "The dialogue in the song follows a creative, trying to understand the negative thoughts that plagues their mind every time they feel the imposter syndrome. The chorus is the heavy-handed conclusion that they arrive to every time but the bridge is the 'big aha! moment' where the character finally realizes that they are amazing at what they do and are in fact, 10/10."
Cuffed Up are playing Sunday, November 6th at the Crocodile in Seattle. Check out today's Song of the Day, and revisit their 2021 KEXP in-studio session below.
