“I wrote ‘I Like Mondays’ about my battle with perfectionism,” says Taylor Bickett. “It’s about the insane pressure that I have found myself putting on each new week, month, or year to be the one in which I no longer make mistakes and do everything perfectly. These feelings came to a head when I realized that New Year’s Day 2024 fell on a Monday. I wrote and posted a snippet of the song on social media just in the hopes of making a few people feel seen. I was shocked to see how much it resonated, which led me to finish and record the song in just a matter of weeks. The song is, at its core, an affirmation that we all deserve grace; that beautiful things can come our way if we just relinquish control, if we loosen our grip, if we surrender to the universe.”

Taylor Bickett is a storyteller at heart. Growing up in Indiana, now preparing to move from Nashville to Los Angeles, she’s been writing music since before she can remember. Taylor’s intimate lyrics and outstanding vocal range gracefully overlay organic indie pop production to create introspective singer/songwriter tunes. After her wistful, Gen Z anthem “Quarter Life Crisis” hit the internet in 2022, the track compelled a generation struggling with their newfound adulthood to share their photos and stories on TikTok soundtracked by her song. The trending audio amassed nearly half a million fan-made videos, and “Quarter Life Crisis” quickly accumulated over 30 million streams. Celebrities like Drew Barrymore and Kevin Jonas showcased their transformations from age sixteen to now atop Taylor’s track, which features the lyrics, “I swear 16 was yesterday, but now I’m closer to 28.”

Taylor’s subsequent 2023 EP grown up and lonely demonstrates her knack for writing honest and unfiltered songs that resonate with an entire generation. Her music has been featured on Spotify playlists such as “Viral 50” (#10), “big on the internet,” “Pop Sauce,” “young & free,” “Chill Pop,” “New Pop Picks,” “Hits Don’t Lie,” “songs to scream in the car” and more.

Her newest single is about not succumbing to the pressures to be perfect. Taylor says, “It’s about the insane pressure that I have found myself putting on each new week, month, or year to be the one in which I no longer make mistakes and do everything perfectly. These feelings came to a head when I realized that New Year’s Day 2024 fell on a Monday. I wrote and posted a snippet of the song on social media just in the hopes of making a few people feel seen. I was shocked to see how much it resonated, which led me to finish and record the song in just a matter of weeks. The song is, at its core, an affirmation that we all deserve grace; that beautiful things can come our way if we just relinquish control if we loosen our grip, if we surrender to the universe.”
