Some moments do not ask for permission, they announce themselves. In Courtney Hadwin’s video “Facts,” just eight seconds was enough to shake the internet. Standing still, fire in her eyes, she declares: “I’m just going to keep getting hotter and weirder and ain’t nobody going to stop me.” It was not just a quote, it was a warning. Millions follow Courtney for this very reason: she is raw, unapologetic, and completely herself.

That video is not long, but it hits hard. It feels like the buildup before a storm. Her statement channels frustration, defiance, and self-belief all at once. You feel two sides of her rise: the bold challenger who owns the spotlight, and the quiet fighter who has been told “no” one too many times. There is confidence but underneath it, a deeper kind of determination built from survival.

Facts

Listeners say the short clip still helped them face hard days or feel understood. The comments beneath “Facts” are filled with people who have been silenced or doubted and now see themselves in Courtney’s fire. They call her brave, they say she speaks what they wish they could say. In just a few seconds, she made a space where weirdness became power and truth felt safe.

But that’s only half the story. If “Facts” is the sound of falling apart and standing up, her live version of “Monsters” is the voice of what comes next. In it, she battles the fears that haunt everybody, the things you hide from and the versions of yourself you try to bury. The emotional shift between these two songs is striking: “Facts” spits fire, but “Monsters” carries the burn to its core.
