Album: Be Myself (2017)

Be Myself, Sheryl Crow's tenth studio album, was cut with her regular '90s collaborator Jeff Trott, with whom she penned such hits as "My Favorite Mistake" and "Everyday Is a Winding Road."
Both this song and "Roller Skate" are about our dependence on social media and technology. The title track, which also touches on euphoriants, features the line: "If I can't be someone else, I may as well be myself."

"That would be the consolation prize," Crow said of the lyric to Glamour magazine. "It's a little satirical, and maybe along the dark side, but it's a reality. It's also a fun pop song, and it points out some of the absurdities of life. It just felt like that was a good title."
