With a video that uses NYC appropriately as a backdrop, “1993” is a nostalgic jam by Hildur about learning to trust in oneself. Reflective, Hildur explains that 1993 is an autobiographical anthem of her childhood: “When I was 5, I realized my dream was to create, tell stories and stand on stage. As per the hook – “When I grow up I wanna be me”, it came to me as it was only recently I realized I had really became the person the 5 year old me wanted to be and was doing all the things I had dreamt of, without really giving myself the credit. This song is my journey and all the loopholes and fallbacks it took, all the disbelief but passion I experienced, all the insecurity and the creativity- which is me. So if my 5 year old self could hear one song from the future, I would want it to be this one. And I hope someone else on their journey to become themselves can relate.”
