Following on from the Valentines drop “Heart Over Head”, an introspective single that explored the intricacies of a previous relationship. The rising pop sensation Skye Houston is back, however, this time setting the tone with her latest unapologetic release, “Mommy Issues”. Putting her foot down, Skye Houston reclaims her strength in this empowering anthem, created for pop victory.
Harnessed with a tell-all and unapologetic energy, Skye Houston’s fearless lyricism sits at the forefront of this captivating release. Built atop of a pulsing production speckled with percussive elements that are bound to make your head bop, “Mommy Issues” is a toast to self-growth and enforcing boundaries. Saying goodbye to ‘f*ckboys’ and letting things slide, Skye Houston enforces her power in this addictive anthem.
Speaking on the meaning behind the track, Skye Houston shared, ”Mommy issues is about the boys in our generation who are too immature to date, leading to the assumption that they must have mommy issues. The boys in our generation seem to be growing up very slowly and this song tries to highlight that from a playful point of view. Girls in our generation are a lot more badass and won’t settle for anything less than what they deserve, none of these immature boys with mommy issues will be able to date girls like us”
