More about: Harriette

After having ‘at least i’m pretty’ on repeat since 2021- Harriette is finally back with her first single of 2022. Maintaining the same DIY grunge-pop song, ‘Fucking Married’ is a savage take on moving on, settling down and sticking a finger up at your boring ex.

With touches of pop, grunge and even a little california surf rock mixed in, ‘Fucking Married’ maintains the candid lyricism that had us hooked on earlier tracks and doubles down with a bigger audio. Candid and silly, the storytelling power is perfected to a degree way beyond her amount of releases - screaming that big things are to come.

Talking about the track, Harriette said: “I wrote this song one night after finding out an ex of mine from a long time ago had gotten engaged. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t comparing my relationship to his current relationship, but instead compare our paths and what I could say about the distance between our two points in life.” 

“Being from Texas, I feel like it’s pretty common to graduate college and start seeing a lot of your peers run to the imaginary finish line and get “settled down”. While I don’t think there is anything wrong with that, it confused me as I got older. Whether it was religion, sex, money or tradition, none of the above felt like a good enough of reason for me to tie the knot. It felt so natural to look around at my situation and admire what I had going for myself. Which is also why it was so hard for me to imagine potentially bringing someone else into the picture, permanently.”

'Fucking Married' is out now.
