Mila Gorasia, known simply as Mila, penned the catchy chorus to 'Make Me A Goddess' during a performing arts lesson. The song is designed to boost confidence by encouraging girls to don their 'Goddess crown' and become whatever they aspire to be.
Her teachers saw potential in the song and encouraged her to develop it into a studio-recorded track, which was subsequently released on TikTok. The song has since racked up nearly 5 million views on the platform and 50,000 streams across various platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Tiktok and YouTube.
To put this into perspective, Michael Jackson first received songwriting credits at age 18, Stevie Wonder started at 11, and Justin Timberlake was creating music with NSYNC by 14.
Mila said: "This isn't just about me or the song. It's about showing every girl out there that they can achieve incredible things. The lyrics go 'I want to be a footballer, I want to be an actress, I want to be everything, I want to be a Goddess'."
"The reason behind these lyrics is because you can be anything you want to be if you just put your mind to it and you put a lot of effort into it. The meaning of that is you can do multiple things. I don't want anyone to stop me from being any of those."

Mila is an avid viewer of Biz Kids, a social media and video channel dedicated to promoting entrepreneurship among school-aged children. She wrote the initial chorus during an online session on confidence co-hosted with Stagecoach Performing Arts. Working alongside teachers and hosts, the lyrics were transformed into a song complete with a choreographed dance routine.
Stagecoach Performing Arts offered financial support for the recording of the song and the creation of the music video, while Mila and Biz Kids producer Tash Courtenay-Smith worked on finalising the track.
The completed song was launched on TikTok and other streaming platforms on May 10. Mila aspires for the track to be more than just a catchy tune - she wants it to become an anthem for young girls worldwide.

Andrea expressed her astonishment when 'Make Me A Goddess' garnered over a million views, saying: "The moment she created 'Make Me A Goddess' and it reached over a million views was astonishing."
"Mila is our bubble of fun, constantly reminding us that with effort, anyone can achieve their dreams. The song encourages young girls to recognise and harness their power and potential."
However, despite her journey into pop stardom, Mila insists she's just an ordinary kid. "I live in London with my mum, my dad, my brother and my dog. I'm a typical London kid."
"I go to a primary school and I'm in year six. I love to fill my days with different things, art, swimming, football, performing arts. I love my friends, my family and I love to snuggle with my dog Carter every night."
Tasha Courtenay-Smith, founder of Biz Kids, commented: "It's about building confidence, teaching valuable life skills, and providing a platform for expression."
"All of the ideas we have had to promote Make Me A Goddess have come from our Biz Kids, and they included a livestream launch party, Tiktok filters and a Make Me A Goddess cake."

"And of course, some of the world's greatest entrepreneurs are in fact singer songwriters - take the likes of Taylor Swift for instance, whose businesses range from music through to media and merchandising."
