Dina Renée Shines Bright with Her Empowering New Single Glow Up

By Robert White, Editor-In-Chief

Dina Renée is no stranger to emotional storytelling, but with her latest single "Glow Up," the rising pop artist takes empowerment to dazzling new heights. Following the release of her soulful track “Ready When I’m Gone,” Dina returns with a fierce, upbeat anthem that captures the moment when heartbreak turns into self-liberation.

“It’s about finding your sparkle again,” Dina shared during our recent conversation. “It captures the moment that you stop second guessing your worth, wipe your tears, and start glowing from the inside out.”

With a background in both music and acting, Dina’s creative evolution has been fueled by resilience. From singing into a Fisher-Price tape recorder in her childhood closet to releasing high-energy pop tracks and performing live in Los Angeles, she’s come a long way—and her music reflects that journey.

Co-written with Brooke Tomlinson and produced by AJ Arroyo, “Glow Up” is more than just a summer bop. It’s a testament to rediscovery after romantic fallout. “Originally, I wanted it to be something fun for people to use in their Instagram reels—like a makeup transformation or something light,” Dina explained. “But when I sat down with my co-writer, the song evolved into something deeper, more personal.”

That deeper meaning is rooted in real experience. “I had just gone out with a friend after not seeing her for a year. We were both going through breakups. Hers was especially tough—really toxic,” she revealed. “She wasn’t even allowed to wear certain clothes. That conversation lit a fire in me.”

The lyrics reflect that transformation: a reclamation of joy, identity, and self-worth. “There’s a line in the song that says, ‘There’s lots of sparkle in my eye for a year of my damn life,’” Dina said. “It’s that moment when you finally look in the mirror—or see a picture of yourself—and realize you’re happy again. That’s what this song is about.”

With millions of streams and an ever-growing social media following, Dina Renée is steadily making her mark in the Empowerment Pop space. Her sound—a bold mix of emotional depth and catchy hooks—feels both intimate and universal. “I write songs as a form of therapy,” she said. “I don’t want to write something I’m not feeling in that moment. It has to be real.”

“Glow Up” isn't just for the brokenhearted—it's for anyone rediscovering their confidence and stepping back into their light. And while Dina wrote the song to be relatable and shareable, it’s the sincerity behind the glitter that makes it stand out.

A performer at heart, Dina also teased what’s coming next. “I have six or seven more tracks lined up,” she said. “I’m focused on doing more shows, hopefully working with an indie label, and throwing more release parties like the one we just had for ‘Glow Up’ in Hollywood. It was such a vibe—red carpet, pink carpet, press, the works.”

From acting in TV shows like Glee and The Goldbergs to launching new music that empowers listeners, Dina Renée is crafting a career that’s as multifaceted as it is authentic. “Whether I’m singing or writing or performing, I want to make people feel something,” she said. “Especially after a breakup—sometimes you just need that one song to help you through.”

“Glow Up” is now streaming everywhere, and it's the perfect soundtrack for your Hot Girl Summer.
