ENVY’s newest single, “Selfish,” is a glowing example of bedroom pop meeting emotional honesty. With a foundation in synthpop and a tone that manages to feel both sad and danceable, “Selfish” is a contradiction in the best way — it makes you want to cry, think, and move all at once. It’s the kind of track that sneaks up on you, and before you know it, you’re hitting repeat to feel the sting of its lyrics just one more time.
A self-taught producer and singer-songwriter from Seattle, ENVY has been quietly building her world of sound since 2017, when she began writing songs during long overnight shifts at a gas station. In those quiet, sometimes lonely hours, music became her outlet — a way to pass the time that gradually turned into a passion. With no big studio or industry team behind her, ENVY took it upon herself to learn the ropes of recording and production from scratch, steadily transforming her bedroom into a laboratory for sonic exploration.
“Selfish” feels like the culmination of years of growth — a track that blends vulnerability with polish. It pulses with synth-driven emotion, carried by ENVY’s ethereal vocals and a production style that’s refreshingly clean yet deeply personal. There’s a kind of intimacy in her voice, as if she’s letting listeners in on something private, even painful — but instead of wallowing, the beat lifts you up, forcing a catharsis you didn’t know you needed.
This is the kind of song that sits somewhere between reflection and release. You can imagine it playing through your headphones on a rainy walk, or blasting from your speakers as you try to dance your way out of heartbreak. ENVY taps into that universal feeling of giving too much, feeling used, and trying to reclaim your space — even when it hurts. And by pairing that sentiment with glittering synths and a driving rhythm, she creates something beautifully bittersweet.
With plans to release new music every few weeks, “Selfish” feels like an exciting milestone for ENVY. It’s clear she’s no longer just a girl figuring things out in her bedroom — she’s an artist ready to let the world hear her, flaws and all. If this is the kind of emotional clarity and sonic craftsmanship we can expect from her going forward, staying tuned won’t be hard at all.
