about

19-year-old Auckland artist Marianne Leigh has released her compelling punk-pop single ‘CRAZY GF’, written solo by the artist.

Produced by Emily Wheatcroft-Snape and Nate Selway, the pop-punk track gives a voice for the uncomfortable emotions we suppress, the lyrics untangling toxicity, jealousy, and spite. A new musical venture for Marianne, CRAZY GF steers the young songstress away from her indie-pop roots and into the realm of pop-punk, the single tackling the issue of female representation in the media.

“The crazy girlfriend character in the media is a common trope, and something that has always bothered me. The joke is outdated, and a ridicule of female emotional expression. I wanted to write a song about this character and my frustrations surrounding it”.

Taking a light-hearted approach and drawing inspiration from personal experience, CRAZY GF delves into the mind of the ‘crazy girlfriend’ character.

lyrics

I know that I'm yours
But there's something about her that makes me unsure
I see past those doe-eyed brown eyes
I see past her backseat laughing as we drive
I see her watch you in the rearview mirror
Do you have any idea what it feels like up here?

Possessive in my name
And a list of girls burned in the back of my brain
Tell everyone, tell everyone
Tell everyone

I watch her watch you
And I've gotta say there are bad things that I wanna do
'Cause girls like you know how to leave me empty-hearted so easily
But I see past it, and I can't breathe
So break me down so easily

Possessive in my name
And a list of girls burned in the back of my brain
Tell everyone, tell everyone
Tell everyone

Tell me again that she's just a friend
And I'm just a mess and there's no one else
Go drive her home
You're both alone
Do you have any idea what it feels like up here?

Possessive in my name
A list of girls burned in the back of my brain
Tell everyone, tell everyone
Tell everyone

Possessive in my name
And a list of girls burned in my brain
So tell everyone, tell everyone
Tell everyone
