After meeting on Discord, Layth, dreamingofmars, and 10pmsux began collaborating on music. Each artist brought their own varied tastes to the table, blending rock, hyperpop, and punk to create their own distinctive sound. After working on several tracks, the trio decided to release "NOT SORRY," a standout track that fuses their genres in a unique way. Earlier this month, Stef sat down with dreamingofmars and Layth to discuss the making of the track. Now, let's dive into it!

"NOT SORRY" is a dynamic track that opens with an electronic beat, instantly establishing a hyperpop vibe that continues into the verses, maintaining the electronic elements. In the choruses, the track introduces more rock elements and pop-punk vocal stylings creating a vocal production that is consistently playful and innovative, experimenting with different sounds throughout the song.
The track features fun vocal harmonies and maintains a cohesive feel despite each artist bringing their unique flair. "NOT SORRY" is undoubtedly a headbanger, especially with the surprising yet powerful addition of a ripping guitar solo that adds a strong punch to the end of the song.
Lyrically, "NOT SORRY" is about living without strings attached, avoiding commitment, and embracing a carefree, unapologetic lifestyle. The song channels a "brat girl summer" vibe reminiscent of Charli XCX, possibly hinting at her influence.
Lines like "Last time, I left my phone / 8 missed calls calling me an asshole / Not sorry. I'm Not Sorry." reflect this unapologetic attitude. There's also a tension between desire and independence, as seen in lines like, "And I don't wanna roll, by myself to some shithole without shawty," and "I'm not what you want me to be / Commitment, my issues...Someone put my heart under lock / I'm giving mixed signals."
LONG STORY SHORT: "NOT SORRY" is a track that blends genres seamlessly, offering a fun, feral summer anthem that captures the essence of being unapologetically yourself; no strings attached.
