myah’s latest single ‘The Lobby’ is an unapologetic cinematic break-up anthem, packed with biting humour, emotional digs, and a healthy dose of self-empowerment. As an indie artist with a flair for storytelling, myah uses her songwriting to turn heartbreak into a sharp-edged commentary on love, fame, and the absurdities of Hollywood. The song, and accompanying music video, isn’t just a personal narrative- it’s a full-blown satire aimed at the glitz, glam, and hollow promises of the entertainment industry, all while serving as a not-so-subtle call-out to her ex.
Set against a backdrop of catchy hooks and playful beats, ‘The Lobby’ brings a sense of catharsis with every line. myah’s lyrics are laced with sarcasm and wit, as she takes listeners through the highs and lows of a past relationship. The pre-chorus “Go back to the lobby, at least they know you there” hits hard as she critiques the superficiality of fame and the desire for recognition. It’s the perfect middle finger to those who prioritise status over genuine connection.
The song’s hook is irresistibly infectious, with myah declaring her independence, suitcase in hand, as she moves past the heartbreak with a newfound strength. Lines like “And I bet you never thought I’d take it this far, but I like the plot” showcase her ability to reclaim her narrative, making the break-up saga feel like the best part of her story arc.
A standout moment comes in the bridge, where myah sarcastically thanks her ex for “wasting my time” and being “legally blind” to the relationship’s potential. It’s a moment of biting reflection, delivered with a comedic edge that keeps the song light, even as it cuts deep. The outro, punctuated with a cheeky “sexy beast” shout, adds the final flourish, rounding out a track that’s as cathartic as it is fun.
‘The Lobby’ not only showcases myah’s knack for storytelling but also her ability to channel personal experiences into something universal. In true indie spirit, myah proves that you don’t need the backing of a major label to make a splash- you just need a story to tell and the guts to tell it unapologetically.
