From Heartbreak to Triumph: Francesca Everly Releases New Breakup Anthem ‘Love Is Overrated’


If you’re nursing a hangover and need to let out some emotions, Francesca Everly’s latest pop-rock anthem "Love is Overrated" might be just what you need. It's got that mix of electric guitars, hard-hitting drums, and powerful vocals. It’s the ultimate soundtrack for any post-breakup wallowing session. From the first hook, you can hear and feel this rebellious attitude coming across. All you want to do is to scream along with her while alone in your room, pretending your hairbrush is a mic and chanelling all that frustration from a past relationship.

Francesca Everly is an indie pop artist who grew up in Rome and now is living in London. She began her professional music career during lockdown and for her it was a way to share her most personal thoughts and feelings. Her song "Love is Overrated" is the third track from her forthcoming debut EP. It’s bold, it’s cheeky, it’s irreverent while looking at the meaning of modern love. Her sound is a mix of Fletcher, DYLAN, and Olivia Rodrigo, blending their strong energy with her own style. The song starts off with a pop feel, but then it takes a turn and transforms itself into this rock-sounding anthem.


What really makes the difference with "Love is Overrated" is how it tells us a story. She’s written a track that speaks to people, the ones who’ve gone through the same things, the ones who think love and relationships are not for them. The song looks at that feeling of frustration and we come to the realization that maybe love isn’t all that! She’s giving a big musical middle finger to the idea that love is everything. 

The music video that goes along with the track visually nails the vibe of the song. Francesca is looking down and out in the beginning of the video, she’s sitting on the floor, sipping on some alcohol looking all depressed. It perfectly describes on the screen this post breakup gloom. But as the video goes on, things start to shift and change, and all of a sudden she finds herself behind a mic, she’s alive again, full of energy and backed by a band and backup singers. By the end, she’s laughing, as she turned her heartbreak into something fierce and triumphant, and she finishes it off with the line, "That was Great" on the screen—the perfect ending for a song that’s all about finding strength and moving on.
