Australian pop newcomer merci, mercy shares the instantly catchy and endlessly relatable “Winnie Crush”—a breezy-feeling dive into the fine line between self-care and indulgence—out today on Capitol Records. The freshly signed artist also comes face to face with her vices in an animated visualizer paired with the track, which finds her chilling with sentient cigarettes, wine bottles, and pizza slices.
“Winnie Crush” finds merci, mercy in a reflective mode, detailing her bad habits and the depths of her soul over shimmering synth programming. The instrumental is bright and buoyant, but the track grapples with heavy subject matter. “It’s about the toxic relationship that I have with myself,” says the 20-year-old. “I can barely afford what is good for my body let alone what’s bad for it. I’ve tricked myself to believe this is what is good for me, that it’s something that makes me happy. But I can’t afford to do this to myself anymore, I can’t afford a love that doesn’t exist.”
