Breaking up is indeed hard to do. It can leave you bitter as a four-letter word that rhymes with truck. Of course, when it comes to 🎙 NERIAH, she feels no need to censor herself. When the name of a song has the f-bomb front-and-center, as well as a specific name attached, you know that the shit has hit the fan! 🎵 “Fuck You Matthew” is the definition of fierce pop, if for no other reason than an unapologetic title. Of course, sus love, now ended, is what drives NERIAH to flipping the bird to Matthew on this highlight from her 2022 EP, 💿 How Do I Get Clean?.

Apparently, the way that NERIAH ‘gets clean’ on “Fuck You Matthew” is to tear her lame ex- absolutely TF down. He ruined so much for her: “I can’t believe you ruined nineteen for me / Then blamed me for it / I am twenty-two and still am paying for it / Bet you adore it.” Ooh-wee! In the second verse, she makes it clear she’s ranked up, including finding “Someone who looks way better than you,” and admitting to faking it with him – OH, SNAP 🫰! Of course, it is the centerpiece that says it all, including the big, bad FU to Matty boy! Of course, NERIAH doesn’t limit her disdain to only Matthew:

“I hate you and all the boys with the same name as you

Continue to lead me on and lead me back to you

I’ve got five fingers and my favorite one’s for you

So, fuck you Matthew!”
