Background

[edit]

“Save Me isn’t just important to me because its my debut single, its also my story as to how I developed into the individual I am today,' she said upon the single's release.[2] Joelle told DailyMail, "I have been through so many experiences like every girl, and I wanted to take a stand and speak up on behalf of all females who have felt hurt from relationships.”[2] Joelle revealed that she has drawn on personal heartbreak after her spilt South Sydney Rabbitohs star Sam Burgess in December 2013.[2]

Music video

[edit]

Joelle began teasing the release of the music video.[3] The official music video was released on Joelle's youtube on April 19, 2014.[2]

Opening with a close up sequence of the Joelle wearing headphones, the video goes on to show Joelle playfully hugging and pulling funny faces.[2] Audiences are introduced to Joelle's onscreen love interest.[2] As the video progresses, audiences witness the increasingly apparent conflict between the pair, as they stop speaking during dates.[2] As the clip fast forwards to Joelle's life a few months later, the artist rocks a white mesh fitted frock complemented with bold diva curls and effortlessly smiles at her ex-love interest.[2] As he approaches her, clearly blown away by her stunning new look, Joelle enjoys sweet revenge, by making a "rude finger" gesture to her ex-lover and then strutting off with her girls.[2]

Charts

[edit]

"Save Me" debuted at number 56 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[4] The song has reached the top 25 in Australia's iTunes charts and soared to 14,000 Youtube views in less than a day.[2]
