Cxloe's New Single "Cheating on Myself" Is the Drag You Need Before Valentine's Day
Releasing today.
Australian pop musician, Cxloe, releases her new single, an ode to herself, ahead of Valentine’s Day.
Accruing over 50 million streams throughout her career, Cxloe‘s raw truth-telling recounts the chaos of her 20s, making the single that much more relatable. Despite its raw truth-telling, the lyrics act as a love note to her former self, who chose everything, over herself.
Rushing in with a sonic and alternative sound, Cxloe’s single “Cheating on Myself” opens by questioning her sh-t choices. “I can’t tell/Was it really worth all the hurt and hell,” she sings. ”Realized I’ve been wasting all my time on someone else/Cheating on myself.” And just when you think the drag can’t get any worse, she exclaims ”Yes man, how’d I go and turn into a yes-man showing up for everybody else,” revealing a feeling most femmes know all too well.
CXLOE elaborated on the song’s message in her press release, “‘Cheating On Myself’ is probably the closest I’ve come to capturing how I’ve felt my entire twenties. For so long, I believed that my happiness should come second — as if I deserved it at all!? — and that I was actually capable of fixing all the problems that plagued the people I love. Self-sabotage disguised itself in bad excuses, lonely nights, and a whole lot of yes’s. This song questions if the hell I put myself through was worth it, or if I just cheated myself out of the best years of my life.”
