Audrey Hobert Wrote “Sue Me” Lyrics After She Unapologetically Slept With Her Ex
If Audrey Hobert’s name rings a bell, it might be because her pen was behind one of your favorite songs last year. The singer, musical theater devotee, and dancer got bitten by the songwriting bug when she co-wrote a not-so-little track called “That’s So True” with her childhood best friend and Grammy nominee, Gracie Abrams. She also directed multiple music videos and has writing credits for seven songs on Gracie’s album, The Secret of Us. Now, Audrey is singing into her own mic with an infectious debut single, “Sue Me,” which dropped today via RCA Records. “It was the fifth song I ever wrote alone and one of the first I made with my producer Ricky Gourmet,” Audrey said of the track in a statement to Cosmopolitan. “I was with Ricky the week after I had slept with my ex, who I knew still had feelings for me. I felt pretty bad about it—although it was a nice evening with him, because deep in my heart, I knew I didn’t feel the same way.”View full post on InstagramWhile stans across the internet are scavenging for this year’s song of the summer, Audrey makes a stellar case with “Sue Me” and its self-directed music video. The buzzing indie sleaze-influenced production bridged with Audrey’s careless confessionals are giving pop the fresh take it’s been craving. And, if that wasn’t enough proof, the track has already received co-signs from Grammy nominees Gracie, Finneas, and Gayle. That being said, now seems like a great time to learn the lyrics of Audrey Hobert’s “Sue Me”—because it’s definitely going to be stuck in your head.View full post on YoutubeLyrics written by Audrey Hobert and produced by Ricky Gourmet[Verse 1] I knew you’d be at the partyDrinking a Coke and BacardiNot that it matters, but I’m breaking patternsAnd getting so good at pilatesBroke up with you in NovemberSorry, I know you rememberAre you depressed, or are you feeling better?Cause you're looking like it’s the latterIn the first verse, Audrey gives a life update of sorts and feeds into the idea of moving on from her ex by taking up pilates and “breaking patterns.” While sleeping with her ex isn’t exactly ideal, she decides to take the plunge anyway. Besides, healing isn’t linear and looks different for everyone.We’re on Ex WatchHow to Deal With an Ex Who Won’t Go Away[Pre-Chorus]I’ve been so careful with you, babeBut I’m out lateAnd being a saint is exhausting“We were at the same party and we were—put simply— vibing/reconnecting,” Audrey said of her past connection in a statement to Cosmopolitan. “It had been a while for me.

Then we made the beat. Then I took that beat home and it was just me and the pen, moonlight, and the truth.”[Verse 2]Just me or does he look amazingWhen he’s all in his Amazon BasicsLet’s rip ’em off, top to botLet’s rockSuddenly, all the lights are onTaking it as a sign from God(Sign from God)And I’m saying it over and over againThe deed is being done, and as the lights come on, she second guesses her decision...but goes through with it, anyway.
