"Give Me My Name Back" was the first thing Meg Mac let out from her second album, HOPE, landing in October 2018, long before the record itself arrived in June 2019.
Mac has said the song is bigger than a feminist anthem. She aimed it at anyone who has lived through emotional or physical abuse, at women finding the nerve to speak up, at people facing discrimination in the LGBTQI community, at Indigenous Australians and at children who suffered abuse within the church: anybody who has lost a piece of themselves and has to win back their identity, dignity and sense of worth before they can move on.
