“ANCHOR DOWN” is MAKIE’s response to the trials faced in both relationships and life. Written as a totem of hope, the song reflects the shared human journey through uncertain and challenging times.

At its core, “ANCHOR DOWN” expresses MAKIE’s belief in the importance of grounding ourselves when life becomes difficult—and choosing love as an act of resilience. The message extends beyond personal relationships, calling for compassion and connection within families, communities, across the country, and around the world.

“This song became especially meaningful to me as a family collaboration,” MAKIE shares. “I was able to pull my husband away from stunt work and into the recording booth for backing vocals, and our entire family appears in the music video. It reminded me that family is at the heart of learning how to unconditionally love—and what better place to anchor down.”

Love, while not always easy, remains the answer—and is always worth choosing.
