Let's talk about April Harper Grey.
It's what she calls a stage name - but it's who the songwriting credits on this song. So it's her name.
April is underscores, a persona she's been releasing music under since 2013 (it's still on Soundcloud if you're interested. I was). She was doing dubstep back then - and she was 13. It is absolutely crazy to me that someone so young could have been making such rich music by herself back then.
Well, she's still underscores, and in 2026, she released her 3rd album, U. Honestly, I didn't quite get it at first - but critics loved it from the start, and it grew on me hard. This was one of the singles from that album, and it is an energetic masterpiece.
underscores is also brilliant at marketing. Her lyric video for this song doubled as a choreography version. Her music is tailor-made for TikTok and she wisely positioned it as such.
And this is why she is on the verge of emerging from the underground and hitting the mainstream.
Lest you think a dubstep artist can't BRING IT live. She does.
