George\u2019s smooth and soaring vocals compliment the upbeat track, and encapsulate the positive lyrics. The official music video was shot and directed by Lindsey Henderson during the first few days after the country went into lockdown, due to the Coronavirus outbreak. It sees George take on three very different personas, alongside his true self performing the song.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Of the track George has said,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI wrote &#8216;Be Myself&#8217; at a time when I was really discovering the kind of artist I wanted to be. I&#8217;d spent several years before that making music in the hope that other people would like it, rather than just doing it for myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Watch the video for \u2018Be Myself\u2019 below.
