“Think of Me” is the new single from Sumi X, an anthem for those who have spent too much time on what doesn’t matter and need to reconnect with their essence. From the very first listen, it feels like a musical reminder that courage and confidence are key to reshaping our lives.
Sumi calls this track her “main character anthem,” a sonic talisman meant to encourage risk-taking and rewriting our own stories. “I wrote it to have a little talisman in my pocket that I could listen to whenever I needed some courage to take a risk. It gives me proof that I have…and can…do anything I want to do,” she shared.
Both the lyrics and production channel the inner strength that surfaces in decisive moments, when it takes courage to take a step forward. The singer hopes this becomes one of those songs you keep close, a reminder that reinvention is always possible.
Here, Sumi X’s pop style finds a balance between the intimate and grandeur. Her voice, charged with emotion and conviction, is combined with modern instrumentation that amplifies the song’s inspirational spirit. Each verse feels tailored to the listener, turning her story into a universal message of resilience and determination and reinforcing her vision of music as a vehicle for transformation.
Born in Pittsburgh as Sumi Krishnan to Indian immigrant parents, she grew up witnessing their discipline and dedication, which instilled in her a deep respect for perseverance and hard work. Although she ventured into other worlds—from earning the “Jazz at Lincoln Center” and performing alongside Wynton Marsalis to pursuing engineering and a business career—her devotion to music remained unwavering.
After founding a successful consulting firm that earned her a spot in Inc. Magazine on its 30 under 30 list, she chose to return to her true passion: singing and songwriting. This wasn’t a coincidence but the outcome of a deeper search for authenticity. Along the way, Sumi X has become a voice for the so-called “misfits,” those who don’t fit into rigid molds but seek to live with truth and courage.
“Think of Me” thus becomes a bridge between the intimate and the collective: a song rooted in individual experiences that also raises a banner of motivation for anyone facing doubt. It carries the weight of Sumi’s own journey and the living proof that dreams can come true.
