Maddie Zahm shares queer break up new single Step On Me
If you’re a fan of Ethel Cain or Phoebe Bridgers, Maddie Zahm is one for you. Needled with intricate lyrics, Zahm brilliantly captures the nuances of the queer female experience across her sound.
In her new track, Step On Me, the musician explores her experiences with her first-ever queer break-up. The release of Zahm’s single follows her highly praised debut EP, You Might Not Like Her.
Reflecting on the song, the singer shared: “I look back fondly at the time we were together. It’s unfortunate to leave a situation and realise that you’d rather have them run your name into the ground than stay in love with you. “As a triple water sign, writing a ‘fuck you’ song feels nearly impossible especially when the person you’re writing songs about is someone you think highly of!
But this breakup left me a bit confused. Partly because it was my first deep relationship with a girl and also because we both are a little (a lot) dramatic. “I walked into the studio and said “isn’t it about time we stop over-romanticizing this shit & start capitalizing on it??” and thus “STEP ON ME” was born.
