At just 13, Piper Connolly is shaking up the alt-pop scene with her fearless energy and sharp, genre-blending sound. Hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, she combines high-powered melodies with lyrics that cut deep, earning comparisons to icons like Avril Lavigne and Hayley Williams. With "kiss like me" and "welcome back girl," she delivers a striking display of her versatility, while her fearless take on The Rolling Stones'"Gimme Shelter" highlights her willingness to push musical boundaries. With industry veterans already taking notice and plans for new music and live shows in 2025, Piper is just getting started. Let's dive into her latest release, "warning."
Piper Connolly’s "warning," is a high-energy alt-rock anthem that immediately pulls listeners in with electrifying guitar riffs and an early 2000s nostalgia. Channeling the rebellious spirit of Avril Lavigne, the track captures the dizzying, all-consuming rush of love—equal parts exhilarating and dangerous.
From the very first verse, Piper paints a vivid picture of infatuation that takes over completely, singing, “It’s in my lungs and going viral / Got me gasping for some air / It’s too late there’s no denial / I can feel it everywhere.” The lyrics pulse with urgency, reflecting that moment when love becomes so overwhelming, it’s impossible to escape, even when you know it might not end well.
At just 13, Piper taps into a universal feeling—falling so hard and fast that you lose yourself in the process. Lines like “Never thought that I could feel so alive / Never thought I would lose me” perfectly capture the intoxicating contradiction of love’s power, where passion and identity blur together. Her vocals, backed by driving instrumentals, bring an undeniable energy that makes the song feel even more immersive.
"At the time, I was in this phase where I knew better, but I didn’t do better. I was completely consumed by someone, even though every part of me was screaming, “this is a bad idea!” I wanted the song to capture that adrenaline rush—the chaos, the thrill, the way your heart races even when your brain is waving a giant red flag. More than anything, warning is about that universal, messy, all-consuming kind of love—the kind that pulls you in so fast you don’t even think about how hard you might crash." - Piper Connolly
LONG STORY SHORT: As Piper herself puts it, “Love, while often messy and unpredictable, is intoxicating and undeniably human.” That sentiment shines through in every lyric, making Warning a song that feels both deeply personal and instantly relatable.
