“As a band, we come from a very rock and roll background and wanted to give She’s A Fighter a little bit more of that rock and roll feel,” says RJTW’s lead singer and guitarist, Robert Jon Burrison. The new song is very riff based. The song was a result of the band jamming them out in the room. She’s A Fighter came very naturally and felt like a song we would have written in the past, which made us feel nostalgic.”
She’s a Fighter celebrates the relentless strength and tenacity of women in the world. Robert’s wife, nine months pregnant at the time, was still fighting while the song was being recorded.
“I was inspired to see my wife perform like a champion during her pregnancy,” recalls Robert Jon. “It was such a difficult and rewarding experience for both of us and I was just so proud of her for everything she accomplished.”
Little did Robert Jon know that his lyrics would predict the future for his new child. “I took a risk with the line “Your prince is coming early,” because we honestly didn’t know the baby was going to be a boy or a girl. It turned out that we had boy who came before his due date!”
The release of She’s A Fighter follows the RJTW’s critically acclaimed new studio album Shine A Light On Me Brother. The album features the singles Shine A Light On Me Brother and Everyday that received airplay on UK rock radio including Planet Rock, BBC Radio 2, The Max, Total Rock, MMH Radio, ERB Radio, and Radio Caroline.
