Sofi Vonn balances hope and longing in emotional new release "Selfish"

LyricalOdyssey Music December 08, 2025

With "Selfish," a standout song from her second EP, "Lucky with a Side of Depression," Sofi Vonn goes deep into openness and self-reflection. This project was recorded in London with up-and-coming producer Malthus. It has hazy textures, low-key tension, and the emotional unraveling that comes with late-night thinking.

"Selfish" balances longing and self-reflection, featuring rich synths and a pop structure influenced by indie music. It captures the complexities of wanting more from yourself, others, and the world around you, and it is an ethereal, sincere soundscape. The interesting thing about "Selfish" is that its sound choices match its emotional themes. It is the place where desire meets acceptance, where the desire to be recognised meets the fear of wanting too much.

This tension runs through the EP, which looks at the fragile balance between hope and despair. "Selfish" adds another layer to the emotional world Sofi is building, and the EP as a whole has moods that are at once unclear, beautiful, and deeply human. "Selfish" is the word that describes the moment when these feelings come together to form something real and separate.

Sofi Vonn's willingness to be open about her feelings gives the song its energy. "Selfish" is an invitation to look into the parts of ourselves that we don't believe in, the goals we don't want to talk about, and the thoughts that come to us when we're alone. Sofi shows that being vulnerable can be both a burden and a light in this ethereal, atmospheric single.
