US-based soca artist Sasha Melody has unveiled her latest single, ‘Money Over You,’ a vibrant anthem that champions female empowerment. Released on November 10, the track was co-produced and co-written by Emmerson George of WMG Labs and Joanna Hutton Music. Described as a ‘lively soca bounce with a sleek global pop edge,’ the song marks Melody’s second release for Carnival 2026, following her July hit, ‘Mix You Up.’
At its core, ‘Money Over You’ is more than just a catchy tune; it’s a bold declaration of self-worth. While the song’s playful tone exudes confidence, its deeper message emphasizes the importance of valuing oneself over toxic relationships. ‘It’s not about choosing cash over connection; it’s about choosing self-worth over chaos,’ the release explained.
Melody, who has spent her life shuttling between the US and the Caribbean, brings a rich cultural background to her music. A performer since the age of three, she gained early recognition as a featured dancer on the iconic American music-dance TV show, ‘Soul Train.’ Her career has since flourished, with performances at major events like Hollywood Carnival and Caribbean festivals in New York, Miami, Orlando, and Los Angeles.
In her own words, Melody clarifies that the song isn’t about materialism but self-value. ‘When I say ‘I can lime by myself/ I can wine by myself,’ I’m really saying I’m whole on my own. It’s a reminder that peace and confidence never go out of style,’ she added. With its infectious rhythm and empowering message, ‘Money Over You’ is poised to resonate with audiences worldwide.
