Rising pop artist and viral TikTok star Claire Boyer delivers an infectious yet introspective new single with “Selfish”, a shimmering, emotionally sharp track that dives deep into the quiet chaos of insecurity in a hyper-visible world.
At just 20, Boyer has already built a loyal fanbase with her relatable, raw content, and “Selfish” proves she’s more than a digital sensation—she’s a songwriter with something to say. Instead of glamorising self-focus, Boyer flips the term on its head, revealing how being “selfish” can mean being stuck in a loop of overthinking, self-doubt, and constant self-surveillance.
Set to an upbeat pop groove layered with live guitar, bass, and McLaughlin’s dynamic drumming, the track’s bright sonics cleverly contrast it’s lyrical weight. From bedroom notebook scribbles to a fully realised anthem, “Selfish” shows Boyer’s evolution as both a storyteller and a performer.
Mastered by Grammy-nominated Joseph Carra, the production sparkles without smoothing over the track’s emotional edges. Boyer’s vocals, both clear and candid, carry the duality with ease, making “Selfish” a perfect mirror for anyone dancing through their own internal monologue.
