Abbe May Releases Lead Single From Sixth Album

WA singer-songwriter Abbe May takes another sonic turn with Fuck You, a song written about “recovering from a fragile, vulnerable place”.

It’s the first new music from May since 2018’s Fruit, and is the lead single from her forthcoming sixth LP, Red Flag.

"I've been so consistently happy for about eight months now, so it's strange to look back and think upon how I've been just recovering from a really low time in my life by shutting myself off from anything social and just playing my acoustic guitar. And of course, all these country songs just kept coming out,” May said.

"Fuck You is about escaping a time when I felt very frightened in social situations. For a time I sincerely was too frightened to leave my house, I couldn't sleep and I felt like I was going insane. I think because I have such great periods of life I know by contrast when I am in need of help.

 "So, I had some kind of breakdown. The second I can identify in my life. But my breakdown was ultimately a breakthrough, and I no longer let myself shrink around bullies. So, Fuck You is me reclaiming my sanity and taking my power back."
