EMEREE ‘Eyesore’ - The Soundtrack to Every Petty Summer Fantasy

There’s petty. And then there’s EMEREE-level petty. The Australian alt-pop trailblazer returns with her newest single “Eyesore,” a sarcastic slow burn wrapped in glossy R&B production that’s practically engineered to play as you strut away from a toxic ex. It’s got the smirk of Sabrina Carpenter and the bite of early Lily Allen, and it couldn’t have dropped at a better time.

Following her breakout UK single “Spring Cleaning,” which positioned her as one of pop’s sharpest lyricists, “Eyesore” is a deliberate evolution. Everything from the sugary harmonies to the pointed lyrics shows an artist who’s mastered the fine art of making heartbreak sound like a party. “It’s petty. It’s polished,” EMEREE quips—and she’s right.

What’s most exciting is how EMEREE balances sass with substance. She doesn't just throw shade—she builds an entire house of mirrors. Behind the vengeance lies serious musicianship: EMEREE is a producer, instrumentalist, and artist with total control over her sound. That depth gives “Eyesore” its replay power—it’s funny, but it’s also real.

EMEREE notes, “Eyesore” is the anthem for anyone who’s ever dated someone who treated them horribly and just wasn’t hot enough to get away with it.” 

The song's production gives retro nods without sounding nostalgic. It’s modern, clean, and addictive—perfect for fans of SZA, Cleo Sol, or Mark Ronson’s playful polish. If “Eyesore” is a taste of EMEREE’s upcoming era, expect sharp lyrics, tighter production, and a whole lot of fire.

Call it what it is: the song of the summer for girls who know their worth—and aren’t afraid to rub it in.
