The visual also incorporates simple glimpses of everyday life, including Irma eating, brushing her teeth and quietly taking in her natural surroundings. The understated approach complements the reflective nature of “Nobody Wins,” allowing the song and Irma‘s performance to remain the focus.

Written, composed and produced by Irma, “Nobody Wins” was originally released on March 6, 2026 through Azobé.
