Award-winning alternative pop artist Babette returns with her powerful new single, Go Where
You Need To Go, an uplifting anthem that inspires listeners to trust their intuition, embrace
their truth, and finding the courage to live life on their own terms.
Following the emotional aftermath of conflict and the process of healing, Go Where You Need
To Go explores the journey of choosing authenticity over fear. The song reminds listeners that it
is okay to walk toward the places that break your heart, if that is where your truth lives. Healing
is no longer about staying safe, it becomes about following what your soul already knows.
Written by Babette, also known as Elizabeth Labuschagne, together with Mark Beling, the song
serves as a deeply personal message from Babette to herself. “Go Where You Need To Go is
the letter I wrote to myself to give myself permission to live again, not to get stuck in the ordinary,
to trust my intuition, and to go where I know my soul wants to be.”
With its captivating alternative pop sound and heartfelt message, Babette believes the song will
resonate strongly with listeners who may feel trapped by expectations or afraid to pursue their
dreams.
“I think people need to give themselves permission to follow their dreams more often. We get
stuck in what is normal instead of focusing on where we really want or need to go.”
Through her music, Babette hopes to inspire people to reconnect with themselves, trust their
instincts, and take meaningful steps toward the life they truly want.
Babette has already achieved significant milestones throughout her career, including winning
an Afri-Indi Award and being featured at the prestigious FORBES Leading Woman of Africa event.
These accomplishments reflect her dedication to creating music that is both impactful and deeply
personal.
Accompanying the release is a visually compelling music video that brings the song’s themes of
self-discovery and healing to life. The video follows Babette as she opens doors to past versions
of herself and the emotions tied to them. Along the way, she confronts, comforts, and simply sits
with these experiences, symbolizing the process of embracing every part of who we are. Filmed
at a house in Centurion, the music video offers an intimate and reflective visual experience that
complements the song’s message of personal growth and self-acceptance.
With Go Where You Need To Go, Babette delivers more than just a song, she offers a reminder
that we do not need permission, certainty, or a perfect plan to follow our dreams. Sometimes,
one step toward yourself is enough, even when it feels like fire and shooting stars at the same
time.
