Meet AMELINA, a twelve-year-old musician who moved from Russia to Spain in 2023. She’s been doing what the rest of us struggle with daily: figuring things out one day at a time. Armed with a guitar, a clear voice, and the kind of determination that makes you believe she’s going places, AMELINA is proving that youth doesn’t mean you can’t have something real to say.
“The bravest thing you can do is take the next step, even when you can’t see the top of the hill.”
“Step By Step” is a track about taking life bit by bit, and it practices what it preaches. The piano-led arrangement builds gradually, starting introspective before opening up into choruses that feel like finally catching your breath after a long climb. AMELINA lands somewhere between Olivia Rodrigo’s emotional honesty and early Avril Lavigne’s scrappy confidence. The lyrics acknowledge the mess, the time pressure, and the constant decision-making that comes with growing up or starting over.
For someone who’s still learning a new language and navigating a completely different culture, AMELINA sounds remarkably sure of herself here. The track fits perfectly alongside Teen Beats and Pop Rising collections, but honestly, it works for anyone who needs a reminder that progress doesn’t have to be perfect; it just has to keep moving.
If “Step By Step” is any indication, she’s just getting started. Worth your time, worth the follow, worth watching where she goes next.
