Mona Lissa’s new song “Professional Victim” is a fun and powerful reminder to set healthy boundaries and take care of yourself. With a catchy Motown-style beat, this track is the first single from her upcoming album Queen Of Games, which will be released this spring.
The song is for people with big hearts—those who always help others, even when it hurts. But sometimes, it’s important to stop and ask: “Am I giving too much to people who don’t deserve it?” “Professional Victim” is Mona Lissa’s way of saying, “It’s okay to say no. It’s okay to put yourself first.”
She wrote the lyrics and melody based on her own experiences in codependent relationships, and also from hearing stories about people who use fake problems to get attention and control others. Her singing is strong and full of emotion—she’s clearly speaking from the heart.
The music, created with Montreal producer Paul Cargnello, brings the song to life. His fun guitar riffs and the upbeat rhythm make you want to dance, even though the message is deep.
The music video, shot in downtown Montreal, adds a funny twist to a serious topic. It shows a woman dealing with a selfish partner who pretends to be hurt just to get sympathy. In the end, she finally stands up for herself—and it feels great to watch.
“Professional Victim” is a song that many people will relate to. It’s about knowing when to stop giving and start protecting your peace. With this powerful song, Mona Lissa reminds us that self-love is strong, not selfish—and it can sound pretty great, too.
