Chxrry is up next. The R&B rising star is dominating social media with her second single of 2025, “Main Character.” The self-empowerment anthem highlights confidence, encouraging listeners to unlock their inner strength and recognize what makes them unique. To own every room you walk into, you have to remember you’re the main character. 

Following the singer’s melodic performance on the Kickback stage, we asked Chxrry: How can you become the main character? Scroll down to read some of her tips on exuding main character energy to maintain a captivating presence.

Attend Therapy Sessions

Main characters need to maintain their mental wellness. Besides healing from past traumas and preserving emotional regulation, attending therapy sessions can boost your self-confidence. Therapy aids in providing clients with the tools to develop positive coping mechanisms to strengthen their self-esteem. 

Have a Skincare Routine

According to YouGov, around 50% of Americans have a skincare routine. Besides, skin is our largest organ in the human body. In addition to maintaining healthy skin, having a secure skin care routine keeps your skin hydrated and prevents breakouts. 

Be Happy for Other People

Everyone has a season of greatness. When life feels stagnant and a close companion is reaching new heights, it’s important to cheer them on. To exude main character energy, the spotlight doesn’t always have to fall on you. Sometimes, it’s our peers’ time to shine. Continue to support your friends and be happy for other people who are thriving until your opportunity arrives!
