Keke Palmer has stepped up her acting chops as of recently, starring in the newest Fox series, Scream Queens, but don’t get it twisted – her music grind is still in full effect.

The 22-year-old singer has been hitting the studio over the past year, and is gearing up to step back into the musical spotlight. With the building anticipation of her newest record, “I Don’t Belong To You,” Keke’s fans are sitting on the edges of their seats, awaiting for visuals from the empowering track. We got our hands on some behind the scenes footage from her song’s video shoot, which she actually did the treatment for herself.

“Ultimately, it comes from some of the overwhelming stuff I was getting from my generation now as a whole. I feel like we’re all kind of in that place of not wanting society to define who we are, especially females. Personally, as a woman, my generation has been very vocal about changing the way things are perceived, and killing double standards. It’s also about my personal experiences of coming into myself and my own career,” Keke tells us of the concept for the “I Don’t Belong To You” visuals.

She continued, “It became the epitome of this transition in my life, and separating myself my characters and becoming my own woman. It’s really everything coming into my own. It’s just me saying I don’t belong to you, I belong to myself, and I define what is right to me, happy to me, and success to me.”

The title of Keke’s new record, which was produced by ATL super producer London on Da Track, also plays a bit of irony in the making of the video, as the singer took the reigns, herself, as far as the video’s direction. “Everything visually came to life for me. The moment that I take things into my own hands is when my creative side starts to bubble. I allow myself to be myself,” she explains to us on taking creative control.
