True to its title, the track is a tear-jerker and showcases the poignant songwriting abilities phem is well-known for. The song has already had a life of its own on social media, and had fans across the globe singing along to the ultra-catchy chorus. The song stems from a place of true authenticity, and was written about the singer’s personal mental health journey.

“I couldn’t have expected it would resonate so deeply with people…I guess it’s the feelings of hopelessness and the simplicity in which I describe it. That might be more relatable than trying to be overly poetic about it,” they said.

“The night that ‘watery’ was conceived was not the same day it was recorded. These were words I wrote down when I was all alone in the middle of the night…feeling really hopeless about the magnitude of things I had to take care of. Nobody had any answers or solutions for me. The feelings were so overwhelming that I couldn’t cry. I kinda just laid there with watery eyes. a drop never even got to fall.. and that’s an even darker feeling than actually being able to cry.”

‘brkdwn’ sees phem continue in their infectious genre defying prowess, a punchy fusion of hyperpop, emo and trap that comes ahead of their appearance at Reading & Leeds festivals this August bank holiday weekend.

phem had this to say about ‘brkdwn’: “There’s no denying that each and every one of us has struggled emotionally, mentally, physically or had some hardship within the last two years or so. I wanted to create an anthem that could allow us to celebrate our pain together, and flip it into something positive.”
