Interview with LilyIsThatYou

We had the pleasure of interviewing Lilyisthatyou over Zoom video! 
 
Toronto pop provocateur Lilyisthatyou celebrates her signing to Warner Records with her major-label debut single “Party 22.” A breakup anthem that doubles as a post-pandemic party jam, the propulsive bop finds the singer born Lily Davies looking for salvation in the club. 
 
“Party 22” allows Lily to let loose. “Imma party like it's 2022,” she chants defiantly on the explosive chorus. “Imma shake off every last thought of you.” It turns out, “Party 22” is the result of quarantine-induced reflection. “I’ve always found nightlife as an opportunity to let go,” Lily says. “To release a lot of energy that I had been directing towards something negative.” She set out to make a floor-filler for a post-COVID world, adding, “I want to create anthems people will remember from the year the world really came back to life.”
 
With references to bottles and bathroom stalls, “Party 22” picks up where her self-released viral hit “FMRN” left off. An acronym for “Fuck Me Right Now,” Lily’s sex-positive single caused a stir on TikTok, where it amassed more than 1 million views in 24 hours before being taken down for being too explicit. “FMRN” quickly became a streaming sensation.  Since its release, the unapologetic song has amassed over 40 million streams across platforms.
 
Pop has been Lily’s calling from an early age. She began writing songs at 13 and received an AKG microphone from her father in 2016. With a rudimentary studio setup in her bedroom, the breakout artist became more serious about her craft. She achieved her first taste of virality on her own, but now with “Party 22,” she’s made it clear that, with backing from Warner Records and Marvin Alyas’ Until Successful Management, Lilyisthatyou is headed for even bigger things.
