Inspiration for “Waiting” was taken from Catterina’s personal experiences. The track planted its roots in a moment of longing, for the artist, in which she found herself returning to an old voicemail from a past love. She recounts reminiscing on the withered romance, wishing she could take a step back in time with the hope that she may experience that familiar warmth again. The artist walks listeners through the sour feelings of uncertainty and regret for decisions that are already set in stone, offering a harrowing rawness and vulnerability in her lyrics. Catterina perfectly captures how regardless of where we are in the post-break-up healing process, it can be so easy to romanticize the good times from a past relationship, making it harder to move on. For her, this song represents the moment where, “as much as [she hates] to admit, you’re just waiting on the call you know you’ll never receive.”

The independent artist grew up listening to an eclectic mix of music from artists like U2, The Cranberries, Pearl Jam, Alicia Keys, and Alanis Morissette; the early exposure to her parent’s music library had a lasting impact on Catterina’s artistic aesthetic that shaped her into the emotional, colorful musician she is today. After discovering her love and passion for music at the tender age of fourteen, she began cultivating her craft by performing locally with her band Roses In April in 2016. More recently in her solo-career, Catterina’s upcoming EP, Four Twenty One, is a record that covers the stages of heartbreak – from falling in love to falling apart, self-reflection, the intricacies of navigating self-love, and healing your inner child.
