Teeming with her signature confidence and unabashed self-awareness, “Arizona” is quintessential UPSAHL, complete with an irresistibly catchy hook and candid lyrical quips that will resonate universally with her fans.

Expanding her influence, UPSAHL recently lent her pen to Madison Beer on her fiery new single “BOYSHIT”, which is featured on Spotify’s Teen Party (3.8m followers), Pop Rising (2m followers), and just hits (1.7m followers) playlists and received much critical acclaim. 1883 praised “BOYSHIT” as “a bop we can’t get out of our heads”. Earlier this year, UPSAHL undertook her first co-write on “Good in Bed” for Dua Lipa’s Grammy-nominated chart-topping blockbuster, Future Nostalgia, and has continued to write for heavy-hitting artists, such as Anne-Marie.
