teen drama series, Degrassi.[5]

Background and release

After being dropped from

digital retailers on August 6, 2013.[4] A remix by DJ Klever premiered on SoundCloud on November 12, 2013, which was confirmed by Dobson's management group as an officially-commissioned remix.[8] Dobson's then-fiancé Yelawolf
is featured on an alternate version of the remix.

Critical reception

John Walker of

Idolator called the song "great," praising its "less slick" production (compared to Joy) and its "mix of pop sensibility and an unbratty punk edge," which he wrote was "quintessentially Dobson."[5]

Music video

The video for "Legacy" was directed by Aaron A and premiered October 25, 2013.[9] Dobson's character in the video is a patient in a psychiatric hospital who impersonates various deceased superstars, including Marilyn Monroe, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, and Kurt Cobain.[10] Following her delusional antics, Dobson breaks out of the facility and drives off with all of her personalities in the back seat.[11] Rachel Brodsky of MTV questioned if the dissociated personalities could be "a metaphor for drawing influence from your favorite artists, but not sounding too derivative."[11]
