\n\tSinger-songwriter Rachel Platten<\/a> is re-recording several of her biggest hits, including her 2015 smash \u201cFight Song,\u201d in an effort to reclaim control of her music like<\/a> Taylor Swift<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a post on Instagram<\/a> Monday, Platten said she\u2019ll drop her new album Fight Song (Rachel\u2019s Version) on Sept. 26. Along with \u201cFight Song,\u201d she said the collection will feature her other 2015 single, \u201cStand by You,\u201d additional songs from her third album, Wildfire, plus \u201csome live songs and a surprise from the vault.\u201d Platten recorded the new album with Jon Levine, who also produced Wildfire.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAs Platten noted, the re-record project lines up with the 10th anniversary of \u201cFight Song,\u201d<\/a> which peaked at Number Six on the Billboard Hot 100 (and later became a campaign song for Hillary Clinton<\/a> during her 2016 presidential run). \u201cI had no idea when I wrote these songs in moments of vulnerability that they would go on to change my life,\u201d Platten said. \u201cFor a decade, they\u2019ve lived out in the world, carrying their own weight. They\u2019ve been parts of your moments of strength, doubt, and connection.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPlatten said she went about re-recording her old songs \u201cnot to change them, but to reclaim them,\u201d adding that the new versions \u201care infused with the voice I have now, the wisdom I\u2019ve gained, and the undeniable pride of owning my own masters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTo that end, Platten said she was \u201cgrateful\u201d to Swift \u201cfor bringing this conversation to light and empowering artists to take back control over their work, their stories, and their futures.\u201d\u00a0(Platten was one of Swift\u2019s many guests during her 1989 tour<\/a>, with the pair performing \u201cFight Song\u201d together at the Philadelphia stop.)<\/p>\n

\n\tPlatten followed up Wildfire in 2017 with her fourth album, Waves. Only recently she did release a new record, I Am Rachel Platten, which came out in September 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n
