The City of Angels’ Very Own GothieCouture Takes Control With “Rule The World”

You might have heard GothieCouture’s hit single, “Rule The World.” It’s got that moody, gloomy feel that pulls you in right away, but it’s also got some real thoughts behind it. He’s asking those big questions about power, forgiveness, and whether holding onto hope even matters sometimes. It’s the kind of song that makes you pause and think, but it’s also got a vibe that just clicks. If you’re into music that’s honest without being over the top, this one’s definitely worth a listen.

It’s the track’s solid, self-assured production that makes it stand out, without ever overreaching. The beat, thanks to producer Saint Mike, sets this moody tone that’s dark but still easy to follow. It’s a perfect backdrop for GothieCouture’s voice and lyrics—they aren’t shouting for attention, but when you focus in, the words hit deep. The main line, “If I could rule the world, would it change a thing? If I could change your fate, would you still hate me?” cuts through all the noise and gets at the heart of some pretty universal feelings. It’s asking whether having control really changes anything at all in the way people feel or treat each other.

And here’s something not everyone knows: GothieCouture’s also got a solid thing going as a model, which fits perfectly with his music’s style. He pulls inspiration from the cool, clean menswear vibes of Dior Homme and Tom Ford, and mixes in classic rock styles from the 70s and late 80s post-punk. So when you see his visuals—whether it’s on Instagram or in his music videos—you get the full experience, not just a song but a whole mood, a look, and an attitude.

This track wasn’t a quick write either. Usually, GothieCouture knocks out songs in less than a week, but “Rule The World” took months to finish. That’s because it came during a rough patch for him, with his dad facing health issues and him figuring out his own life and career. You can feel that extra care and emotion in the music—it’s real. He’s inviting you into some personal struggles, but also letting you know that it’s okay to have those moments.

Beyond being an artist, GothieCouture’s also a full-on music pro behind the scenes. He runs Ivory Music Studios in Downtown L.A. and has picked up serious experience working in studios around Southern California. He’s been around some big hip-hop names, which might surprise you given his current moody, indie style. It shows how tight and careful the production on “Rule The World” is—professional but never too glossy. It’s the kind of sound that stays true to him and feels close, like he’s talking just to you.

The music video? Also directed by GothieCouture himself. And it’s pulling in over a million views, which says a lot about how people connect with his work. The visuals reflect the song perfectly—dark, stylish, and atmospheric. You can see his modeling influence in how everything looks. This is a guy who clearly knows what he wants his art to be and takes charge of it all, from music to video to style.

What makes this song really stand out, though, is the message. He isn’t just throwing out some moody lyrics—he’s been through a lot and talks about it openly, including surviving domestic violence and how therapy helped him heal. That honesty adds a lot to the song’s meaning. It’s like he’s saying, “I’ve been there. You’re not alone. Keep going.” It’s a song for anyone who’s felt lost or misunderstood, and it comes from a genuine place.

As GothieCouture keeps building his career, he shows that he’s not just about music. His style, his visuals, and his work in the studio all shape how he tells his story and connects with fans. “Rule The World” is a great example of that—an honest, well-made track that pulls you in and leaves you thinking.

He’s clearly someone to watch, mixing talent and smarts with a realness that’s easy to connect with. This song is a powerful step forward—showing us that even when things get hard, you can still find your strength and your voice, and maybe even “rule the world” in your own way.
