Still shimmering from the recent release of her single ‘SUNSCREEN’ — co-written with the late visionary SOPHIE — underground pop icon and hyperpop pioneer LIZ is back with ‘Likey,’ a sparkly, sugary bop that proves she’s still one of pop music’s most fearless innovators.
Co-written with Jimmy Harry (Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears), ‘Likey’ is BRAT in pastels — thumping bass, glitchy synths, and dreamy harp flourishes. It’s built around a massively addictive, earworm hook that lingers long after the first listen. Vocally, LIZ floats between cheeky rap cadences and bubblegum pop melodies with tongue-in-cheek confidence, layering kawaii sweetness over a bed of angsty tension.
While it fits naturally alongside the sounds of FKA Twigs, Shygirl, Doja Cat, and Britney Spears, ‘Likey’ lands squarely in its own lane — the sweet spot between hyperpop chaos and pop perfection. LIZ doesn’t chase trends; she sets them. Her brand of future-kitsch pop is stranger, prettier, saucier, and joyfully self-assured. It’s unmistakably LIZ.
