Lyrics:
I figure we can work it out, hmm
Wanted you to grow,
But, boy, you wasn't budding
Everything you are made you
Everything you aren't
I saw your potential
Without seein' credentials (-Entials)
Maybe that's the issue (Yeah, yeah)
Said maybe that's the issue, ah
[Lyrics ends]
American Sign Language (ASL) covers offer a unique way to appreciate and connect with music, allowing Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals to experience songs in an expressive new format. The choice of Ariana Grande's 'In My Head' for such a cover not only showcases the emotional depth of the lyrics—about aspirations and disappointments in relationships—but also celebrates the intersection of pop culture and the deaf community. Rashida's performance, featuring her stylish red letterman jacket, draws viewers into her interpretation of the song. It's an empowering way to engage both deaf and hearing audiences, highlighting the importance of representation in artistic expression. ASL covers not only teach viewers basic signs but also inspire them to appreciate the beauty of deaf culture.
