He said it was his favorite song. Turns out, it was hers first.
The heartbreak of realizing you were singing along to someone else’s love story.
A girl who thought she was sharing something special, only to discover she’d been standing in someone else’s shadow the whole time.
“Catchy Tune” explores the quiet betrayal of realizing a moment you cherished wasn’t original, it was borrowed. The song wrestles with jealousy, comparison, and the humiliation of feeling replaceable. At its core, it’s about how one small detail can unravel an entire love story.
I wrote this song because I couldn’t escape it. Not just him: the song. I had attached so much meaning to it because I thought it was a piece of his heart. When I found out it was actually tied to someone else, it felt like the last little souvenir I had was taken from me too… or that none of him ever truly belonged to me after all.
“I think we’ve all had that moment where something ordinary (a song, a place, a smell) gets completely rewritten by the truth. I wanted to capture that feeling of, ‘I wish I didn’t know what I know now.’ But I also hope people feel seen. Maybe they’ll laugh at how dramatic we can be over a three-minute pop song. Maybe they’ll cry. Either way, I hope it reminds them that even the things that hurt can turn into something powerful… and maybe even a hit.”
This project took on a life of its own. It was the first song I’ve ever had produced in Nashville, and the first time since 2022 that I didn’t produce everything entirely on my own. And honestly? It wasn’t scary at all. It felt electric. I’ve never felt more alive, or more like myself.
“We went bigger than ever before: full music video, choreography, dancers, actors, multiple locations, wardrobe, props, multiple days of filming. We even flew a close friend in from Canada. I truly believe this is the beginning of a new, abundant chapter. And strangely enough, I’m grateful to the boy who broke my heart in Romania, too. Without that story, there wouldn’t be this song. And without this song, I wouldn’t be standing so confidently in who I am right now.”
