Mollie Elizabeth’s “Petty Crimes” takes on a lesser-discussed discourse around misdiagnosis and the struggle to be believed as a woman.
Pop music sensation Mollie Elizabeth releases “Petty Crimes“, a ballad about the singer’s mental health, misdiagnosis and struggles to be believed. This familiar story is shared by millions of people, whether they have been misdiagnosed or are reluctant to disclose their psychological well-being.
Produced by Joshua Murty, the track is accented by Kyle Gordon and Mark Rudin’s string contributions, helping bring her effusive style into being. Not only did Mollie craft exciting new pop music, but she also conceived and directed the music video herself.
In a press release, the singer said of her new track that “you have to hit rock bottom as a young woman to be taken seriously by doctors.” ”‘Petty Crimes’ is about my final call for people to believe me.”
“Petty Crimes” follows a linked motif from “Puppet Show,” where Elizabeth highlights impossible beauty standards. In the visuals, Elizabeth staggers around a woodland area dressed in hospital scrubs, appearing disoriented and finding some sense in it all through an Alice in Wonderland mosaic of shattered realities.
