LOUISE PARKER: IT’S NOT ME, IT’S YOU.

by NICOLA O'CONNELL

Our favourite country-pop artist Louise Parker has released her newest single ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’ and without a doubt it’s got one of the catchiest choruses I’ve heard so far this year. This is Louise’s first release of 2024 and I’m praying there’s going to be more. I had the amazing opportunity to shoot some Behind The Scenes content for Louise during the band portion of the music video so the song has been fully etched into my brain since that I was dying for the song to finally be released.

“INM,IY (It’s Not Me, It’s You) was born after the boy I was dating for one week told me he loved me and because I didn't say it back, he broke up with me. I spent the first day ruminating about what I'd done and soaking up my misery before I realised it was never anything to do with me, it was him and how he had acted. I wanted to get that in a song for my self-conscious hunnies out there who instantly blame themselves when anything goes wrong. Just remember, It's Not Me, It's You.” - Louise Parker.

We’re all well versed on the saying “it’s not you, it’s me” but Louise decided absolutely bloody not, and tells it how it is. She’s no longer blaming herself for your actions.

‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’ is a fantastic song to return to the scene with and I’m in love with the video. The song itself feels like the perfect soundtrack for a rom-com. It’s simply fun. Add it to your playlists, sing along in the car. But fair warning, you will be walking around singing “it’s yooouuuu. it’s not me, it’s you!” Or at least that’s all I’ve done everyday since.
