Mimi Webb caught up with NME backstage at Lollapalooza to tell us about her new song ‘Erase You’, working with Ryan Tedder and the process of creating her second album.Webb released ‘Erase You’ this past Friday (August 2), two days ahead of her performance on the Bud Light stage at the annual Chicagoan music bash in the city’s Grant Park.The song is a bright and pulsing dance floor anthem reminiscent of Robyn‘s classic hit ‘Dancing On My Own’.

It sees Webb sing: “I’ll forget your name (I’m gonna erase you) / I’ma kill him with that red dress, dancing like a hot mess / Make him go insane (I’m gonna erase you).” “The inspiration behind ‘Erase You’ was feeling that final goodbye, that final wave to the person that you’re done with,” Webb told NME. “This song was all about moving forward and erasing both the bad and the good, but in a healthy way.

It’s just that kind of ‘F you’ vibe, I’m gonna actually go and live up to my full potential now.”A post shared by MIMI WEBB (@mimiiiwebb)To create the track, the pop singer teamed up with previous collaborator One Republic frontman Ryan Tedder (Beyoncé, Tate McRae).

The pair are currently at work on her second album which will serve as the follow-up to her 2022 debut LP ‘Amelia’.“I’ve been a massive fan of One Republic since I can remember,” said Webb. “Honestly, I just love everything.
