Background[edit]

Freya was asked to write and perform an original song for the animated teen comedy film Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken. Co-directors Kirk DeMicco And Faryn Pearl, and producer Kelly Cooney Cilella pitched Ridings the story of the film, and accepted. She, along with her husband Ewan J Phillips have co-written an inspirational anthem for the film’s main character Ruby, the importance of self-empowerment, and an anthem for an entire generation.

Release[edit]

Ahead of Ruby Gillman’s release Ridings first introduced the song to the world when she performed it live for the very first time, at a unofficial gig in a campus in Glendale, California. 3 days later, the song was released along with the soundtrack album. The song was heard during the end credits of the film. She then later performed the song for her Blood Orange tour in the UK. ^[2] One of the live performances was also recorded for the live album Blood Orange (Live at Apollo).
