SOFY - 'mine'
One of alt-pops most exciting and relatable new voices returns.
SOFY continues to make waves with her latest single ‘mine’, a heartfelt anthem that paves the way for her upcoming mixtape Another Day In Paradise. Following the infectious alt-pop gem ‘togethertogether’, SOFY’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down, as she continues to amass a dedicated following with her signature blend of introspective lyricism and captivating melodies. With ‘mine’, she offers a track that is both deeply personal and universally relatable, encouraging listeners to confront the “what ifs” in their lives and take that daunting step forward.
The track sees SOFY navigate the tricky emotional terrain of unspoken feelings, addressing the anxiety and excitement that comes with admitting her true emotions for a love interest. As she sings, “kinda think it’d be better, if you were mine,” SOFY perfectly captures the mix of desperation and vulnerability that defines those moments of confession. Her lilting, angelic vocals glide over a production anchored by electric guitars and a head-bopping chorus, creating an irresistible listen that sticks with you long after it ends.
Describing the track, SOFY says, “‘mine’ is a confession, the first time that the feelings hinted at in the first three songs of the project are tentatively admitted.” She emphasises the song’s delicate balance between the desperation of confronting one’s emotions and the tentative hope that accompanies it. Lyrically, she remains careful, almost uncertain, asking, “if stars ever aligned then maybe you’d be mine?”—a line that mirrors the universal anxiety of wondering what could have been.
Musically, ‘mine’ is a sonic fusion that reflects SOFY’s diverse influences, from the raw edge of nineties grunge to the polished feel of modern alt-pop. This balance between past and present gives her music a unique vibe that appeals to fans of both nostalgic and forward-thinking sounds. Her ability to blend these styles seamlessly, while staying grounded in deeply personal, emotional storytelling, is part of what makes her stand out in today’s pop landscape.
With her mixtape ‘Another Day In Paradise’ on the horizon, ‘mine’ marks another exciting step in SOFY’s rapidly rising career, promising to cement her place as one of alt-pop’s most exciting and relatable new voices.
