In this interview, Sabrina Nejmah reflects on writing “Don’t You Worry,” blending trust, growth, family collaboration, and sci-fi symbolism while stepping confidently toward independence and future releases in music career.
1. “Don’t You Worry” explores trust and confidence during uncertain times. What personal feelings or experiences inspired you to write about this theme?
I spent a school year in down under. To go there was a great adventure for me. “Don’t You Worry” describes very well the feelings and thoughts that finally allowed me to take this decision. I did not regret it.
2. The song is set on a spaceship while reflecting a couple’s everyday relationship dynamics. How did you come up with this sci-fi setting, and what does it symbolize for you?
When I wake up in the morning being the first one awake in the house, I enjoy the undisturbed silence and start thinking about basically everything that matters. These moments help me to work on my worries and to grasp optimism. Especially that I know I have the support of my family and my friends make me believe that things will be fine. This feeling of confidence, trust and reassurance is what the song is about. When I focus on my inner feelings it kind of feels like on starship isolated from everything. The starship symbolizes the spot where I am close to my beloved ones.
3. Compared to your first release, how do you feel you’ve grown as a songwriter and vocalist on this second track?
This song was another team effort with my father Norman Astor. Meanwhile I am working on my own songs. Like this I’ve been growing a lot. As vocalist I took lots of benefits from the coaching I had from my producer Markus Nowin Rummel.
4. You often collaborate closely with your father when writing music. What does that creative process look like, and how does it shape your songs?
When we come together in our home studio we usually start jamming around some ideas that my father or I bring up. This is lots of fun. We develop this to a certain point then we work separately on it and when we meet again we see a new song being created. It is a magic moment and so exciting.
5. Being raised between Moroccan and German cultures, do you feel this background influences your music or the stories you want to tell?
My musical background is pop and rock with english and french lyrics and jazz. The major influence I had from being Moroccan and German is that I learned very early that there is not only one culture.
6. As you move toward future releases, what direction would you like your music to take, and what can listeners expect next from you as 2025 comes to an end?
This is my second song. As I wrote it together with my father, it exhibits our common signature style. There are two more songs to come from us both to be released in 2026. I am working on my own song ideas, that will be the next step in my evolution.
