‘I Was Jesus In Your Veins’, recorded with Hatcham Social’s Toby Kidd at Studt’s Sleepwalker Studios, is the first taste of what to expect from the new album which is set for release this year.
Amy performed at a rare London show at the Young and Lost Club at The Nest in Dalston where she unveiled tracks from the new album for the first time with a full band line up.
Amy Studt began making music at a very earl age and was signed to Simon Fuller’s company at the age of fourteen and then to the Polydor label very soon after. She released her first single, ‘Just a Little Girl’, at the age of sixteen, which charted at number 14 in the UK pop charts and reachednumber 1 on US radio play. Her second single, ‘Misfit’, reached number 6 and this was soon followed by her album ‘False Smiles’ which went on to sell 260,000 copies. For a while Amy stayed out of the public eye, but returned in 2008 with the ‘My Paper Made Men’ album.
Her ongoing stage fright again caused her to withdraw from the limelight, but she continued to craft her strange and beautiful take on pop music at her own studio. Combining the drama of Bowie era ‘Aladdin Sane’, the vocal innovations of the Shangri-Las and Mazzy Star’s sultry moodiness, Amy Studt is set to deliver her most complete and accomplished set of songs to date.

Little Girl
Amy Studt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're not listening
Sometimes, I feel
You don't understand
But I think I've
Got the answer
Already, know what you're gonna say
Cause' I'm Just a little girl you see
But there's a hell of a lot more to me
Don't ever underestimate what I can do
Don't ever tell me how I'm meant to be
You say I'm just a little girl, just a little girl
How can I compare?
What do I know?
What have I got to share?
But there's nothing in this world, nothing in this world
That can hold me down
Can't you hear me
Don't you understand
That I wanna be myself, wanna be the girl
I wanna be the one
That you can rely on
Oh I wish that you could see all there is of me
How I long to hear
That you take me for who I am
Chorus x2
Sometimes, I feel
You're not listening
Sometimes, I feel,
You don't understand
Chorus x2
The song "Little Girl" by Amy Studt is a powerful and moving expression of individuality and strength. The lyrics suggest that the singer is often disregarded because she is young or perceived as naive, but she knows who she is and what she is capable of. The first verse describes the frustration of feeling unheard or misunderstood, but the chorus boldly asserts that there is more to her than others may assume. The phrase "just a little girl" is used as a dismissive label, but she challenges this notion and refuses to let it define her. The line "Don't ever tell me how I'm meant to be" is particularly poignant, as it encapsulates the central message of the song: that one's identity and potential should not be constrained by the expectations of others.
The second verse expands on this theme, suggesting that the world may try to limit or suppress her, but she will not allow herself to be held back. She asserts her desire to be true to herself, and to be someone that others can rely on. The final lines of the song express a longing for recognition and acceptance, a desire to be seen and celebrated for all she has to offer.
Overall, "Little Girl" is an anthem of empowerment and self-affirmation. It speaks to the experience of anyone who has felt underestimated or dismissed, and encourages the listener to embrace their own uniqueness and potential.

Cause' I'm Just a little girl you see
It's because I'm only a child
But there's a hell of a lot more to me
Notwithstanding, I am much more than a juvenile
Don't ever underestimate what I can do
Do not misjudge my capabilities
Don't ever tell me how I'm meant to be
Preclude from instructing me on how to act
You say I'm just a little girl, just a little girl
You opine that I am merely a girl, nothing more

Can't you hear me
Don’t you perceive what I’m expressing?
Don't you understand
Do you not comprehend?

That I desire to be my authentic self and a dependable individual
I wanna be the one
I aspire to be the person

Oh, how I yearn for you to perceive my entirety
How I long to hear
How I yearn to listen
That you take me for who I am
That you accept me for my true self

It's just how long you have been alive. It's just a number. Don't ever let society or anyone tell you who or what you are.

False Smiles was such an important album for me when I was growing up, and I will always be grateful for your beautiful songs - thank you ❤️
Paul Weeks
Absolutely love this song could literally listen to it on a loop such a criminally underated talent.
Zac McNulty
Such a masterpiece. For me, it’s one of the best music videos ever created. I love how much art and detail is in the background. Also the nature elements, I really felt that connected with the whole paganism. I also love the characters strength between good and bad. Your energy is fantastic, looked a lot of fun to film. The wardrobe is also spot on. 👏🏼. #NailedIt. 💜😈
Amy Studt
Kara McNulty ah thank you! Sophie Muller should see this comment as she directed it and I’m sure would love to know x

I am so glad I found this song again along with misfit and under the thumb. These are what I grew up to and spoke to me on so many levels. Helped me be who I am and not who other people wanted me to be so thank you Amy. You have an amazing voice and way with words.
