Following the breakout virality of her haunting alt-pop hit “In My Room” and its biting follow-up “Jennifer’s Body,” dark-pop auteur Julia Wolf returns with her rawest release yet—“Loser.” The single offers a third, striking preview of her forthcoming sophomore album Pressure, due out May 23 via AWAL. Where previous tracks leaned into eerie elegance and infectious hooks, “Loser” dials directly into emotional self-ruin.
Built on a bed of slow-burning vulnerability and squealing guitar lines, “Loser” captures the psychological spiral of loving someone you don’t feel worthy of. Wolf’s vocals waver between restraint and desperation as she excavates insecurity in its ugliest form—obsession, overthinking, and the paralyzing fear of being too much or not enough. “‘Loser’ is probably one of the most honest songs I’ve written,” Wolf shares. “It’s about how dark your mind can get when you’re in love with someone you don’t feel good enough for… all those unsent texts in the notes app—it’s all the things I couldn’t say out loud.”
