"I Rise" is an autobiographical song written by Smash Ventura,
performed by The Mercury Queens, and produced by Ben "Smash" Ventura.

This video is a deeply personal reflection on growth, resilience, and self-discovery. Through both the song and its message, Smash Ventura looks back on his past and realizes that the "hero" he spent his childhood searching for was, in the end, the person he became.

At its core, the story is about turning pain into purpose. It speaks to taking negative experiences and reshaping them into something meaningful, using them as a foundation to grow rather than letting them define you.

Another key theme is strength, both within ourselves and in each other. While we all carry something inside us, we are not meant to do it alone. Growth often comes through connection, support, and shared understanding.

Ultimately, "I Rise" is about new beginnings and moving forward. It is meant to offer hope to anyone who feels alone, reminding them that while rising can be hard, it is something we can do together.
