According to Nikos, “DND” is an anthem of self-preservation and empowerment, urging listeners to prioritize peace over chaos. The track’s message resonates deeply in today’s fast-paced world, offering a much-needed reminder to protect one’s peace and mental well-being.
With her debut single, Nikos is ready to make waves in the music industry while continuing to connect with her growing audience. As a multifaceted creator, she is set to carve out her own path in both the music and digital worlds.
