help choose my next single!

peace & love, sweet friends!

as PLEASE, TEXT ME BACK! gets closer to releasing, i need to start recording my next single. i’m now at that exciting / slightly chaotic point in the process where i have too many songs i love and i need to choose the next one to bring fully to life .

i don’t want to spiral alone, so i’m really hoping y’all can help me! right, now i’ve narrowed down my options but i’m still stuck deciding between four songs.

so i thought it’d be fun to do a bracket-style, tiny “tournament” with y’all to help choose my next release.

how it works

this round is round 1. you’ll pick your favorites based on titles only, and the top 2 songs will move on to a final vote.

here are the contenders:

🎧 overdraft (What’s It Feel Like to Budget?) — “you treat me like i’m just a casualty of loving”

about when a relationship makes you feel like a burden.

🎧 phony — “i’m just a screw in the wall rolling ‘round trying to shake it loose”

about how happiness & being present feels inauthentic as the world continues to get worse.

🎧 SMOOTH OPERATOR! — “you only love me when i’m dripped in desperation”

a play on a Sade song; about realizing someone is purposely sabotaging a connection.

🎧 TOO MUCH! — “not to say the words—oh, it just hurts me to hush”

about being misunderstood for speaking up.

comment your top choices below or tap here to vote.

round 2 will be the final matchup, and i’ll share a little more lore about the winning songs and early snippets and/or demos of each with friends on my email list.

sincerely appreciate your help with this!

xoxo,
