London-based alt-pop and rock artist Sofia Gobbi returns with her most addictive and outrageous release to date. Out now, ‘That Ass!’ is an unfiltered anthem of chaotic decision-making, celebrating the kind of reckless behaviour that feels wrong and right all at once.
Backed by gritty guitars, confessional lyrics and a chorus that hits like a sugar rush to the heart, ‘That Ass!’ feels like a cathartic burst of truth. It captures the rush of knowingly diving into romantic disaster, embracing both the thrill and the inevitable consequences. If you have ever looked at a red flag and sprinted towards it, this is your soundtrack.
Voicemail confessions and gleeful disasters
The track opens with a real voicemail Sofia left for her best friend, setting the tone for a song built on impulsiveness and self-awareness. “It’s both a celebration of bad decisions and a reminder that, sometimes, bad choices make for the best stories,” she says. Every line is laced with attitude and humour, delivered with the kind of clarity that only comes after the fact.
Since its release on 16th May, ‘That Ass!’ has generated serious attention. It surpassed 100,000 streams in its first week and landed the cover spot on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Italy. With 27 editorial playlist placements and a steadily growing fanbase, Sofia is quickly establishing herself as one of the UK’s most exciting new voices in alternative pop.
The single offers an energetic glimpse into her upcoming debut album Bigger Man, set for release in summer 2025. Co-produced by Grammy-nominated Andrea Mastroiacovo and Tom Stafford, the album promises to fuse Sofia’s sharp wit, punchy vocals and raw storytelling into something unforgettable.
Review: raw, brilliant and laugh-out-loud relatable
‘That Ass!’ is a riot of sarcasm, sensuality and self-deprecation. Sofia Gobbi doesn’t just wear her heart on her sleeve, she paints it across a wall in capital letters and flashing lights. Her performance on the track is electrifying, as she toes the line between comedy and chaos with precision and flair. The result is a song that feels instantly iconic and completely original.
What makes this track stand out is its total commitment to the bit. Sofia captures the emotional absurdity of knowingly making the wrong choice, and does it with an irresistible grin. The punchy production, powered by distorted guitars and sharp dynamics, wraps everything in a sound that feels as rebellious as it is relatable. It is bold, brilliant and deeply fun.
‘That Ass!’ is the kind of single that stays with you. It is clever, honest and packed with personality. Sofia Gobbi is not just telling her story, she is screaming it from the rooftops. And we are more than happy to listen.
