“I wrote 'Are You Gonna Care When I Die?' in the midst of a time where I was drowning in rejection from the music industry, and in the real world,” Aviles reveals.

“No one seemed to care or listen or take me seriously. I realized that the attention from these people was not worth my time or energy, and ultimately did not define me. The song is a constant reminder to myself to regain my voice and power to tell my own story. The ones that are meant to notice, will notice. Ultimately, it’s a song for anyone who feels insignificant and undermined.”
