A new period in her career has come for Molly Santana.
The young lady from Los Angeles has published her first song with the accompanying music video “Live Your Life.” In it, the performer shows how her unique rage-rap mixes genres. It is her second song, with the previous single named “Ran to Atlanta,” performed with Drake and Future. This collaboration brought the artist significant fame, as the song reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
In this rage-rap song, the young artist shows even more pop influence combined with her punk and rap characteristics. “Live Your Life” includes future-techno elements, stylish production, and a bassline layered over the bright, synthetic sample of her voice, which serves as the song’s main element. Thus, the rage-rap energy is evident in it, and this song belongs to this genre as well.
This is the first time Santana uses choreography in her music video. She moves with the music in her first video, where the bright, anime-like imagery helps emphasize the song’s theme. Art director’s work, just like her lyrics and outfits (in fact, it is a continuation of Santana’s Tokyo fashion studies).
“I do what I want, you can do what you can,” the rapper says in her song.
Now, this artist’s career has already gained momentum: after several EPs, Molly Santana released her debut studio album under her own name in 2024. At the end of this year, Don Toliver invited Santana to be a supporting act of his Hardstone Psycho Tour for some dates. After this, in 2024, Santana released her second album, Molly and Her Week of Wonders, in a series of trailers that turned out to be a single music video, and only at the end of 2026 did she release Ran to Atlanta.
Throughout her career, Santana attracted the attention of many media outlets and artists, including Complex, Tmrw, Billboard, V Magazine, and The FADER. Molly Santana also gained popularity among her supporters, and Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu said she is Santana’s favorite artist.
