An irresistible pop gem that reminds us that we don’t need to change who we are to fit someone else’s idea of perfect.

colby! is a Texas-raised, 19-year-old singer-songwriter crafting her own lane in alt-pop.

She’s been dedicated to making music since she was 14, quickly realizing her knack for songwriting and pulling inspiration from icons like Amy Winehouse and Gwen Stefani.

Her latest release is the pop single “Rich Neighborhood,” accompanied by an official music video. 

On Instagram, the singer revealed, “i wrote this song in LA about a year ago and funny enough this song is even more relevant to me now than when i wrote it. it’s about being with someone who’s more in love with the idea of you than who you actually are. this song is my way of saying, ‘honey, open your eyes, get out of the daydream. i’m not your fantasy, and i’m never going to be.’ i hope you like it and feel inspired to drive past your ex’s house screaming it!!!!!!”

“Rich Neighborhood” blends warm, feel-good instrumentals with upbeat, energizing production to create a bright, infectious backdrop.

Lines like “Think you got the wrong impression / I’ll never be your clean cut girl in dresses / Don’t even waste your time / Building it all up in your mind” reinforce an empowering message about staying true to yourself—no matter how others try to shape you.

Fueled by a raw, relatable narrative and emotionally charged vocals, colby! delivers an irresistible pop gem that serves as a reminder that you never need to change who you are to fit someone else’s fantasy. Press play, turn it up, and let “Rich Neighborhood” soundtrack your moment of clarity.
