Fresh from their largest single release yet with Yours Truly, Eora/Sydney-based pop-punk act BESTIES return with you made a mess of me — a track that blends midwest-emo nostalgia and modern pop.
Co-written with Punk/Rap wunderkind Somber Hills and Aurateque frontwoman, Lauren Coleman you made a mess of me chronologies a toxic relationship — from desire to vulnerability and finally breakdown. Akin to artists like Stand Atlantic or Sum 41, the song’s powerhouse nature is crafted by BESTIES’ own Nat Sherwood on guitar and production, along with singer Max Pasalic’s most dynamic vocal performance to date.
BESTIES talks about the inspiration behind you made a mess of me: “you made a mess of me reflects on a past relationship from 2018-2019, highlighting the mismatch and manipulation that characterised it. The person I was with never took responsibility for their actions and often manipulated others, which held me back from pursuing my dreams. The chorus represents my catharsis and freedom from that toxic relationship.”
