Therése Neaimé describes “On My Terms” as “a long build-up to everything I’ve carried for a long time. So much work, heart and life behind every note.” That weight comes through clearly. The Swedish-Lebanese artist has released one of her most personal songs yet, a bold and radiant statement about freedom, identity, and choosing life on her own terms.
The track blends Latin rhythm, Arabic heritage, and cinematic dance-pop energy into a sound that feels polished, emotional, and deeply personal. Reggaeton-inspired percussion gives it movement, while early 2000s dance-pop textures add brightness and nostalgia. Subtle Arabic influences bring the song closer to Therése’s Lebanese roots, giving the production a cultural depth that feels natural rather than ornamental.
At the center is Therése’s voice. She sings with warmth, control, and conviction, moving between intimate delivery and bigger emotional moments without losing the song’s honesty. The performance feels lived in, which matters for a track built around self-worth, resilience, and independence.
“On My Terms” speaks to anyone who has had to reclaim their voice, protect their identity, or step away from expectations that no longer fit. It is an anthem for choosing authenticity over approval and freedom over limitation.
Written by Therése Neaimé with Roland Billberg and Thomas von Wowern, and produced by Billberg and von Wowern, the single continues her work as an artist who bridges cultures, genres, and emotional storytelling within a global pop framework.
The official music video expands that message with elegance and cinematic scale. Shot through golden-hour visuals, it follows a dreamlike journey of empowerment and self-discovery. Parisian landscapes and Eiffel Tower scenes add romance and aspiration, while choreography, fashion, and symbolic imagery honor Therése’s Arabic heritage.
Together, the song and video create a portrait of an artist embracing every part of herself. The response since release has been strong, with fans and observers calling it one of her most compelling works to date.
Therése Neaimé is a Swedish-Lebanese recording artist, actress, producer, entrepreneur, and inspirational figure whose career centers on empowerment, reinvention, and identity. Her music carries Scandinavian pop precision, Middle Eastern emotional depth, and the confidence of big-stage performance.
What makes her story especially powerful is that her message extends beyond music. As a mother of four, including welcoming a child at 53, while continuing an international creative career, she embodies the reinvention she sings about.
“On My Terms” feels like a personal philosophy set to music: live boldly, love deeply, and define yourself without apology.
