Fall is the perfect time of year to sit back, relax, and dive deep into some new artists. Top of our list right now is BENEE, a New Zealand-born hyper-pop singer. Maybe you know BENEE from her time opening for Tate McRae, or from her viral track ‘Supalonely,’ and yes, we’re still listening to that song in 2025. Though we’ve had our eye on BENEE since 2019, she’s only now breaking through the scene and making us listen on full volume.
Since sad girl fall is officially here, we’re tuning into these five BENEE tracks and need all our honeybee friends to get on board!
‘Underwater’
BENEE’s latest release is just one of those songs you have on repeat without even realizing it – it’s just that good! For all our lover girl yearners, ‘Underwater’ is for you. This song is for all the fans out there who feel misunderstood, like they are drowning in their own tears, and no one is listening. BENEE is here to listen and make you feel understood in oftentimes complicated emotions. That’s why we love music so much, after all.
“My head is underwater, a puddle full of my tears
I could make a river, wouldn’t even matter
Why don’t you see me? Bottom of the pool, yeah
Why can’t you see me?”
‘KOOL’
Why do we love BENEE so much? Because she’s just so ‘KOOL!’ No, but really, BENEE is that girl. She’s got an incredible sense of style, and of course, the knack for great storytelling through song. ‘Kool’ is about that girl next door, who you are probably super envious of – she’s got perfect hair, her skin seems to glow, and always seems to say the perfect thing. For all those moments when you want to be as cool, but you end up just embarrassing yourself. BENEE understands us better than anyone else!
“F**k, I wish I could be cool like you (cool like you)
I say stupid stuff (yeah, yeah)
And embarrass myself (’cause I’m dumb)
I’m not very cool (yeah)
It sucks, I suck, I want to be like you”
‘Sad Boii’
We’re bringing back the BENEE classic that is ‘Sad Boii.’ It’s sad girl autumn after all, so it’s only fitting we sing this song’s praises. Ever been in a relationship where you couldn’t “get the ick away?” Yeah, BENEE has been there too. He always raises his voice, and he’s utterly boring. He’s just a sad boy at the end of the day, and guess what? Only sad girls are allowed here! Grab all your friends, blast ‘Sad Boii’ and attract all that feel-good feminine energy!
“Sorry, what’s this all for?
Don’t make me feel good no more
No, wait, now it’s too late
I can’t get the ick away
Breakup, no, not again
I’m so sick of everything
So, what, what is this for?
God, it’s a bore”
‘Soaked’
‘Soaked’ has very quickly made its rotations back onto our playlists. We forgot how good this song was, and now we can’t get enough. It has all the best chilly air vibes for the fall season. Let this song play in the background while you cozy up wth a good contemporary romance novel over a mug of hot chocolate. Or, maybe you’re pumpkin carving during girls’ night! Either way, BENEE’s discography is the soundtrack to your fall night.
“These things I’m tryna say get drenched and swept away that’s the truth
Soaked up in my brain
Don’t know what to say”
‘Cinnamon’
It isn’t the fall season without a sprinkle of ‘Cinnamon.’ This is another new release of BENEE’s, and we loved it upon our first listen! Her new sound is definitely more mature and elevated, two things we are looking forward to hearing more of soon. While you’re sipping on that hot chocolate, make sure you add a dash of ‘Cinnamon’ for that true fall flavor.
“I might not laugh again, I’ll cross my fingers ’til the end
And I’ll stay sweet like cinnamon, I’ll stay asleep until 3 p.m.”
