Local 10-year-old pens song about adult anger

Mira Babal, an emergent musician from Minnetonka, points the finger straight at whiners in her "tell-it-like-it-is" breakout song, "Mad for No Reason."

MINNETONKA, Minn. — Grown-ups listen up: kids are noticing your agitation and bad behavior, and one wrote a song about it.

Mira Babal, an emergent musician from Minnetonka, points the finger straight at whiners in her "tell-it-like-it-is" breakout song, "Mad for No Reason."

The 10-year-old's song has been featured on MPR and the Current.

Mira shares these three observations that informed the lyrics of "Mad for No Reason:"

Your negativity affects those around you; even when you think you're hiding it. 

The pandemic affected our ability to talk to each other. It's time to re-learn. 

Adults and kids have different energy and these days it's difficult for kids to vibe with the adult energy. They're always in a rush or anxious.

Mira is also working on creating a fusion of Indian and American music. Playing music since she was 3 years old, Mira performs on the guitar, bass, drums, piano/keyboard, violin and ukulele as well as sings and writes all of her songs.
