Katie Elizabeth Hit the Epitome of Unapologetic Y2k Indie Pop Empowerment in ‘Not My Problem, Darling’ –

Katie Elizabeth blew the dust of Y2K pop with Not My Problem, Darling, a track that harkens back to Stefani’s Bananas with the cheeky cheerleader claps in the intro before it surges with a paradox of matured bratty energy. The indie-pop earworm could have easily found its place in the charts of the 00s when Kate Nash, Lily Allen, and The Ting Tings reigned, yet it feels cut for the here and now, pulsing with a renegade spirit that refuses to be boxed in.

As a fiery conduit of resilience, Elizabeth pushes the track to the epitome of unapologetic empowerment. The lyrics augment catharsis for anyone who has ever had to fight the weight of expectation, flipping defiance into anthem territory. It is bratty and self-assured, yet polished enough to hit with the force of a rallying cry, urging listeners to embrace their desires without compromise.

Based in the UK, Katie Elizabeth is reshaping indie-pop by tying her songwriting with AI-assisted vocals, crafting music that is as playful as it is meaningful. Her tracks celebrate growth and connection while sparking joy, and Not My Problem, Darling crystallises her talent for bottling rebellion, wit, and honesty in the same breath.

Not My Problem, Darling is now available on all major streaming platforms, including SoundCloud.
