‘That Could Be Me’ is the latest single from 22-year-old breakout star Alessi Rose. A wildly riveting portrait of obsession, ‘That Could Be Me’ is the second song released from the self-made singer/songwriter’s highly anticipated new EP Voyeur, due out via Capitol Records on July 25.

The follow-up to her single ‘Same Mouth’, ‘That Could Be Me’ once again reveals Alessi’s rare talent for turning her messiest and most secret feelings into arena-sized anthems. This time around, the London-based artist delivers an alt-rock-edged bop that finds an unlikely pleasure in the pain of unrequited longing.

“‘That Could Be Me’ is about desire, particularly when that person is in love with someone else, and the tension you feel between wanting them and knowing that morally you can’t do anything about it,” says Alessi. “It’s the most frustrating kind of yearning, where it’s angry and out of your control.”

Produced by Josh Scarbrow (Arlo Parks, Etta Marcus), Benjy Gibson (Uffie, BTS), and Oli Fox (Good Neighbours, Luna), ‘That Could Be Me’ echoes that angsty intensity with its gorgeous barrage of jagged guitar riffs and potent live drums — a perfect counterbalance to Alessi’s tender vocals and sticky-sweet melodies. Meanwhile, the song’s ultravivid lyrics brilliantly blur the lines between fantasy and reality, with Alessi narrating every moment of her feverish daydreaming (from the chorus: “That could be me, steaming up your backseat/Rip out my heart/Throw it out on the concrete, baby”). By the time the bridge hits, ‘That Could Be Me’ achieves an epic emotional power thanks to Alessi’s hypnotic delivery and the unstoppable force of the track’s hard-hitting rhythms.
