Beth McCarthy impresses with powerful alt-pop single ‘If You Loved Me Right’

Beth McCarthy returns with her new single ‘If You Loved Me Right’, presenting the ultimate alt-pop anthem. Pouring heart-wrenchingly honest lyrics into the track, Beth tells a deeply personal story which will resonate with many listeners’ own experiences. She narrates this tale through her soaring vocals, showing off her dreamy yet husky tone as she delivers intoxicating melodies over punchy drums and pulsating synths. 

Speaking about her new release, Beth reveals: “I wrote ‘If You Loved Me Right’ about being with someone who makes you feel crazy for being insecure or not trusting them when it’s their actions and behaviour that made you that way in the first place ie: a gaslight anthem. I came out of a relationship with someone who would call me names such as ‘psycho’ and ‘totally mental’ in arguments and I remember thinking ‘okay, that’s all well and good but if you actually loved me right and didn’t do all of these things to upset me, maybe I wouldn’t be crazy’ – and the song was born! I want this song to be a way for anyone who’s ever been in this situation to take back the power and realise that they were not the problem.”

Originally from York and now based in London, Beth McCarthy has found viral success on TikTok, reaching over 10 million views and 3.5 million likes on the app. With her previous single ‘She Gets The Flowers’ racking up a million streams in the first month of release, Beth’s irresistibly bold brand of alt-pop is definitely making big waves on the indie scene.
