Hyperpop Pioneer LIZ Unleashes New Single "Likey"
HYPERPOP PIONEER LIZ UNLEASHES NEW SINGLE “LIKEY”
Still shimmering from the recent release of her single “SUNSCREEN” — co-written with the late visionary SOPHIE — underground pop icon and hyperpop pioneer LIZ is back with “Likey,” a sparkly, sugary bop that proves she’s still one of pop music’s most fearless innovators
Co-written with Jimmy Harry (Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears), “Likey” is BRAT in pastels — thumping bass, glitchy synths, and dreamy harp flourishes. It’s built around a massively addictive, earworm hook that lingers long after the first listen. Vocally, LIZ floats between cheeky rap cadences and bubblegum pop melodies with tongue-in-cheek confidence, layering kawaii sweetness over a bed of angsty tension.
While it fits naturally alongside the sounds of FKA Twigs, Shygirl, Doja Cat, and Britney Spears, “Likey” lands squarely in its own lane — the sweet spot between hyperpop chaos and pop perfection. LIZ doesn’t chase trends; she sets them. Her brand of future-kitsch pop is stranger, prettier, saucier, and joyfully self-assured. It’s unmistakably LIZ.
For nearly a decade, LIZ has stood at the forefront of futuristic pop — exploring and redefining the soundscapes of Y2K nostalgia through a distinctly modern, underground lens. Her fearless approach to both sonic and visual experimentation has earned praise from tastemakers and collaborators including SOPHIE, Charli XCX, Diplo, Dylan Brady, Kim Petras, and Azealia Banks.
Once dubbed “The First Lady of Mad Decent,” LIZ has been selected as One to Watch by The Guardian, and has received praise from outlets such as Pitchfork, Billboard, The FADER, PAPER, i-D, Stereogum, Clash, Complex, Notion, MTV, and more. Her riveting blend of sincerity, sass, and sheer talent has cemented her status as underground pop’s reigning come-as-you-are culture icon.
With billions of TikTok listens translating into millions of new streams, LIZ isn’t merely introducing herself to a new generation; she’s captivating them.
