Los Angeles-based pop disruptor Sophie Powers is back with “spiderwebs” — a raw, emotional deep dive into the pain of abuse and the power of breaking free. The 21-year-old singer, songwriter, and fashion visionary continues her streak of fierce, genre-blending anthems, this time spinning vulnerability into liberation. The dark-pop-laced single follows her recent release “muddy,” expanding her sonic world with hypnotic grit and a message that’s both haunting and healing.
“Years of abuse don’t happen overnight. They creep in slowly, built through lies, control, and manipulation until you no longer recognize yourself,” Sophie says. “‘spiderwebs’ is about being a victim of that kind of abuse. For years, I was trapped in a toxic relationship, caught in a web that only got tighter the more I tried to escape.” The single’s chorus — “I’m trapped in spiderwebs made from things you said and promised” — captures that suffocating reality with heartbreaking clarity.
The track’s companion video brings Sophie’s words to life, showing her literally ensnared in a web before tearing herself free — a powerful symbol of transformation. “Because abuse doesn’t just wound you, it consumes and destroys everything around you. This song is my way of breaking that cycle,” she adds. “I want anyone who has ever felt the weight of abuse to know they are not alone. The darkness doesn’t last forever. You can break free. You can transform. You are a butterfly.”
Already a global creative force, Sophie has racked up over 80 million streams, toured with YUNGBLUD and Waterparks, collaborated with icons like Grimes and Dillon Francis, and designed collections with Harajuku fashion labels ACDC RAG and Gloomy Bear. Her songwriting has also reached the K-pop world, co-writing “Reality Hurts” for NMIXX and performing alongside ILLIT at Seoul’s One Universe Festival.
Now, with “spiderwebs” out and a third EP on the way, Sophie Powers is leading a new generation of pop with fearless honesty. She’s not just singing about pain — she’s rewriting it into power.
