Mirby Drops A Feel-Good, Classic Pop Single
If you are looking around for a little spirited invigoration, then I have just the thing for you, as a brand-new track from Mirby just dropped, and this release displays such a colorful and vivacious approach that breaks into certain kinds of vintage, early-'90s pop aesthetics, and the whole thing is infectious. The vibe of this song is completely addictive from start to finish.
The whole track opens up with these sort of Prince-style guitars. They're funky, flavorful, and they start giving you a feel for the deep-pocketed groove the song displays.
The beat kicks in and gives you a pretty straightforward style, but it's mid-tempo, so you can get into that groove really easily. The song is super danceable, and everything starts coming together like puzzle pieces, giving you this very sort of full-bodied pop approach.
When Mirby comes in with her vocals, things start to really become more bountiful. She's delivering these vibrant vocals that feel great to listen to because she's once again sort of spreading this positivity and joy. You can feel that energy coming through in her vocals, and it lines up perfectly with the instrumentation of the track.
She also has a great knack for backing vocals and doing harmonies, so that you have these callback-style tracks that are bouncing back and forth, and those vocals give great hooks as well.
Honestly, this track is hooks left and right. It's got a big, boisterous chorus, but even the verses are really catchy, especially in the way that she puts together the melody for them.
Mirby displays such an amazing approach on record that you want to go see her perform this whole thing live, right in your face.
I think it's because she's actually able to capture that kind of energy on record so well.
The thing about a song like this is that it makes you want to move. It's insanely danceable, and I think that's part of its vibe as well. It's supposed to make you want to get out there and dance. It's part of that positivity and spirit.
When you dig into the lyrics, it's pretty straightforward. This is a song about focusing on yourself. Living life for you, not based on what others expect or want from you. I love this sentiment simply because it speaks volumes, not just for the artist but for everyone else.
We absolutely should not forget to do things that we love. After all, that's really what life is all about, isn't it?
The song spreads this message in such a detailed manner lyrically that it all makes perfect sense. You feel good after listening to the track, and it makes you want to go out and do something fun or something that you love.
Now, this is just how I interpreted the song. Others may soak it in a little differently, but for me, the sentiment was pretty loud and clear, and she does a killer job making sure that you can pick up those notes of messaging in terms of wanting to let people know that they need to get out there and find joy.
I think, all in all, it's important to have a song that delivers a message like this one because I feel like a lot of us forget about that because of the course of our day-to-day lives.
When you have a family, friends, and work, sometimes you forget about the things that you should be doing just for yourself.
This is all part of why songs like this serve as a great reminder for things like that.
However, keep in mind, it's not just about the message but how it's displayed. Mirby showcases a lot of presence on the song, and so that message is really out there perfectly.
She's genuinely excited about delivering that note to people, and I feel like that's why it's received so well.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that she's throwing in those elements of classic pop influences, which she probably has a lot of and holds close to her heart.
So, really, it's a combination of these amazing attributes that come together so that the song works the way it does.
But you'll have to listen for yourself to see exactly what I mean.
Upon listening to the track, I wanted to have a sit-down with the artist to find out where exactly it actually did come from and what might be coming up next for her, so while you listen to the track, have a read through of our interview with Mirby below.
Don't forget where you heard it first.
Where did this song come from, and what is it about?
My song “I Don’t Care” is about spending your time and energy on the things in life you truly care about – and more importantly, blocking out the things in life you really shouldn’t be caring about, which in this case is hate from strangers on the internet! I’ve tried it myself, and I see a lot of it on other people’s social media profiles too. I simply don’t get it. Why put other people down when they’re just being brave and doing their best? So, I just really wanted to make a groovy track, telling them that it’s a waste of time :)
I am hearing several classic vibes here! Who are some of your biggest musical influences?
I wanted the song to have this funky, ’80s vibe to it. You know, groovy guitar and big synths – like the universe of Prince and MJ – or Jamiroquai. I’m quite inspired by sounds from the ’80s and early ’90s, actually, and I also love creating music that you can feel in your whole body. I believe this track has it! My favourite producer right now is Charlie Puth, and I feel like he carries a lot of the same musical inspiration as me. I can hear it. Funky, old-school vibes put into a pop universe filled with creative lyrics and catchy melodies. My way of singing and writing is also quite inspired by female artists such as Gwen Stefani, Sabrina Carpenter, and Remi Wolf.
Did you self-produce this one, or did you bring in an outside producer?
I wrote the melody and lyrics myself. And along with my good friend and producer Valdemar Littauer Bendixen, I asked the Danish producer/artist Louis Anton to help me produce the song – he’s an amazing pianist, and he’s the sweetest guy, so it was really a blast! He was really good at adding the ’80s vibe through different synths and the right organ sound while giving the track a cool, floating energy beneath the funky, tight guitar. Valdemar is a master when it comes to producing my vocals and giving them the right punchy feel throughout the track. I’m so lucky to know these great musicians, and I can’t wait to work with even more talented people in the future.
The song has a vibrant approach for sure! Did you have fun making it?
Yes, we had so much fun making this song! Actually, that will always be my approach when it comes to making music – it has to be fun. It has to be playful. And I want everyone who is a part of the production to feel free and creative. Every idea is welcome, and we have to try stuff out to see if it brings something new and fun to the table. We live in a time where algorithms can create music in seconds. I don’t want that. I want to surround myself with humans and their weird, creative brains. It’s all about the process to me. And my music also has to express something close to my heart. This song is truly a statement – and if I can make a statement AND dance around while doing it, that’s the best way, if you ask me! I want to make people smile and give them a hug with my music, so they feel seen <3
Now that this is out, what’s next for you as an artist?
I will be releasing my second EP in January 2027. It’ll be all about having fun while creating, and I will keep my DNA when it comes to important topics, but I’ll do it in my own colorful way, of course! Then, at the start of the new year, I will also be playing a lot of live gigs around Copenhagen. I can’t wait to go out and play all the songs with a live band. So yeah, stay tuned!
What would you say people can expect from this song?
Funky, happy vibes, and a strong message! I truly hope people will put on this song when they need to shake off all the negativity in their lives. And I truly hope other artists — and people in general — will remember that next time someone writes something ugly to or about you, it’s not you who has a problem. It’s them projecting. And that’s exactly why we need to shout “I don’t care!” at them. Their hate doesn’t tell us anything about who we are. It only tells us something about who THEY are right now. It’s the insecure people who need to drag others down, and it’s not worth our energy.
Before we go, is there anything you’d like to say to listeners or fans?
Stay tuned for January. And come say hi to me on Instagram! :)
