If you’re ready for a bold, punk pop anthem that’ll make you feel powerful and ready to take on the world, then look no further than deegie’s new single, Not in the Mood. Dropping on January 17, 2025, this track is exactly what you need to get pumped up and unapologetic.
Los Angeles-based artist deegie is no stranger to stirring up the music scene, and with Not in the Mood, she’s taking things to the next level. Inspired by the many haters and trolls she’s encountered on the Internet, this song is a fierce clap-back that anyone who’s ever dealt with bullying or online negativity will instantly connect with. And let me tell you, it’s going to be hard not to turn up the volume and sing along.
A bold message of empowerment
Not in the Mood is more than just a song — it’s a statement. The track shines a spotlight on the ironic behavior of online critics, especially the men who claim to hate a woman’s content but can’t seem to stop commenting or watching. It’s an anthem for anyone who has ever felt attacked, misunderstood, or simply tired of the negativity online. Through powerful lyrics and a catchy melody, deegie makes it clear: she’s not in the mood for your hate, and neither should you be.
deegie herself explains the inspiration behind the song: “A certain amount of shade comes with the territory of being a woman in rock,” she says. And she’s absolutely right. Unfortunately, women in music, especially in rock, have always faced challenges and unfair treatment. But instead of letting the negativity get her down, deegie channels it into something powerful and empowering. She says, “I had to write a song speaking to the idiots they are,” referring to the men who can’t seem to look away from her content, even though they claim to dislike it. And that’s where Not in the Mood truly stands out — it’s a song that takes back control and says, “I’m done with your nonsense.”
A glimpse into the EP: Feminism 101
Not in the Mood is the second single from deegie’s upcoming EP Feminism 101, which is all about documenting the experiences of women living in a man’s world. From facing stereotypes to dealing with online harassment, this EP will dive deep into the real-life challenges that women often face. With Not in the Mood, it’s clear that deegie isn’t afraid to tackle these issues head-on, using her music as a tool for empowerment.
The song is co-written with Max Steger and Joseph Lewczak, and produced by Max Steger. The chemistry between the collaborators really shines through in the track’s high-energy punk pop vibe. The music itself is a perfect match for the message — fast-paced, rebellious, and full of attitude. You can feel the confidence in every note, making it the perfect track to blast when you need a boost of self-assurance.
deegie’s rise to the top
This new single follows the release of deegie’s debut EP EXES, which came out in August 2024. But if you thought that was the highlight of her career, think again! In October 2024, she turned EXES into a one-woman rock opera that premiered at The Hudson Theatre in Hollywood. Talk about talent, right?
But that’s not all — deegie’s already gearing up to bring EXES: The Musical to the New York City Fringe Festival in April 2025. With each new project, she’s proving just how versatile and creative she is.
