Singer/songwriter Poutyface tries to piece it all together and wash it out of her hair the next morning in “Never Fuckin Know,” her brand new track available today via Island Records. Originally teased on TikTok, “Never Fuckin Know” quickly jumped to over 1 million plays and 500,000 likes in just 72 hours. We were one of those who have been secretly been watching her growth on the platform.

19-year-old Poutyface confesses that she will “Never Fuckin Know” how she arrived at the raucous and messy aftermath of her wasted day (or was it a wasted night?). She delivers the same graphic detail that her loyal fanbase has come to appreciate ever since her self-released “Deathwish” arrived last year, and she began to garner critical acclaim and millions of streams.

Poutyface (born Olivia Knight) was one of the first people to go viral on the songwriting app Voisey during its 2019 beta test. She eventually signed a major label deal with Island Records, and a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell, having also worked with Apple’s artist development subsidiary Platoon. Without an ounce of compromise or accommodation, she wrote over 150 songs on Voisey, drawing animal influences ranging from the honey badger to the Tasmanian devil.

“I’m a massive believer in the importance of pen game,” she’s previously stated. “All of my big­gest inspirations are incredible lyricists, Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar, Mereba, to name a few. I’m also a huge fan of Doja Cat… I think I’m attracted to music with a lot of soul, but honestly, I listen to every genre and pull inspiration from every angle. And my taste is constantly changing. Ultimately, great lyrics are the common thread.”

“I hope people either love it or hate it,” Poutyface sums up. “My favorite kind of art is polarizing, even the stuff I dislike the most, so ultimately I want to illicit a reaction out of people. You might hate me, but you will remember me.”
