The track is the first on the artist’s new EP is it me, or is it you?
Since emerging in 2020 with her incredible debut EP no thank you, no thanks, Australia-based artist merci, mercy has established herself as a staple of the modern alternative pop scene thanks to her infectiously memorable melodies and the candid, heart-on-sleeve nature of her writing. Now, two years later, the artist has released its follow up, the thoughtful is it me, or it is you?
The latest release from the artist and the sophomore EP’s first track is her new single ‘Into You’, a cautionary tale of a friendship gone bad by muddying it with attachment and romantic feelings. As always with merci, mercy, her rousing vocals and the driving nature of the instrumental make for an anthemic listen that feels as empowering and powerful as it is bittersweet. The track is another emphatic triumph for an artist who is gaining a real reputation for her almost guaranteed reliability.
‘Into You’ is a complicated story about a relationship between me and my guy best friend.” merci, mercy says of the track. “We were so close and I felt so comfortable with him, until we kissed one time and then after that it went downhill.”
