Mauve Releases New Song “I Wish I Was This Girl”
Toronto-based electro-pop singer-songwriter Catherine Conforti, aka Mauve released a new song “I Wish I Was This Girl” on April 14, 2023.
The song is the second single of 2023, following “weary” released back in January.
It was written by Catherine Conforti and produced by Simon Jacobsson.
The accompanying an animated music video was created by Hector Bometon.
Mauve said of the song, “My producer, Simon Jacobsson, and I created a retro pop sound which envisions driving down the road in sunny LA with palm trees all around you.”
She continued, “It's okay to admit you get a little jealous sometimes and let out some steam! 'I Wish I Was This Girl' softens the edge of comparison. Remember that you don't need to be so hard on yourself.”- Mauve described the song, “You know those nepo-babies that seem to be living the most lavish lives and are all over the media right now just because of their parent's connections? You just sit there baffled at how easy they must have it from what is shown on the outside!”
She continued, “Well, instead of having my mind explode over this jealousy, I decided to write a little song about it! Something that you can dance around to, while indulging in a teeny bit of bitterness. You can think of this as an ode to nepo-babies, if you will.”
She added, “'I Wish I was This Girl' is kind of an, "Oh, woe is me" song, but with a playful and tongue-in-cheek style. I think we all come across those feelings of envy once in a while, so let's not take ourselves too seriously or put so much overwhelming pressure on ourselves.” - source : Apple Music
