This reminds me of a song I’d find on my "For You Page" on Tik Tok. You know, a song that's Gen-Z approved. And that makes sense considering this talented musician is only a teenager herself.
“Sad Girl Summer” is all about trying not to get sad over boys and spending too much time staring down at your phone. Maisie Peters puts it best when she encourages the listener to lose his number and start to feel happy surrounded by friends. This is the perfect song to play for a friend to help cheer them up after a rough breakup. Sometimes, we all need a reminder to find our lip gloss, say buh-bye to an ex, and to focus on the people in front of us.
On top of the message of self-worth, Peters’ take on pop music is what drew me into the song. The beginning feels slightly tropical and my ears perked up when I thought I heard a ukulele. Later she swivels into a harder and rockier sound that brings out a wave of confidence.
