India Shawn’s “Kill Switch” Is a Masterclass in Letting Go with Style and Soul


“Kill Switch” by India Shawn is a genre-blurring new single about power, love, and emotional clarity.
India Shawn delivers a powerful emotional statement with her latest single and video “Kill Switch”, now out via VANTA Music/Disney Music Group. Co-written with D’Mile, Varren Wade, Livvy Bennett, and Michael Benjamin Hunter, the track is a boundary-pushing anthem of self-empowerment.
“‘Kill Switch’ is an unexpected shift, as I move away from the familiar shadows of unreturned love and reclaim the power to decide my own fate,” India explains. “It’s about recognizing the potential danger of crossing the line from friends to lovers… ‘this could turn from a good thing to hate.’”
The track is a blend of smooth R&B, alt-soul, and sharp lyrical introspection. India’s haunting vocal performance anchors the production, which was helmed by D’Mile, Bennett, and Hunter. The message? Know your worth—and protect your peace.
The visual, directed by Anne-Sophie Bine, is equally layered. Starring India and Luke James, it captures a surreal emotional journey through collapsing memories and blurred identities. India moves through different dimensions of love and loss, ultimately facing the truth that not every connection is meant to last.
Released via VANTA Music, founded by D’Mile, John Kercy, and Natalie Prospere, the project showcases the label’s commitment to spotlighting innovative and culture-forward artistry.
“Kill Switch” is more than a song—it’s a cinematic moment of reckoning and reflection, delivered by one of the most compelling voices in music today.
