Indonesian-American singer, songwriter and producer, Stephanie Poetri shares her latest single, “Selfish” via 88rising, distributed by 12Tone Music.Inspired by the youthful and playful push and pull of pursuing a young budding relationship and the breadth and range of emotions that come with that experience, “Selfish” introduces listeners to Stephanie’s emotive vocals and sets the tone for her highly anticipated forthcoming EP, ‘AM : PM’, scheduled to release in the new year and her first big project since her breakout global hit “I Love You 3000”. Working with legacy production duo Ojivolta (Selena Gomez, Shawn Mendes, Halsey), Stephanie nimbly speaks to the angst, conflict, and excitement of a new and exhilarating attraction that’s reflected in similarly mischievous pauses in the beat.
To complement the single, Stephanie has also dropped the music video for “Selfish” today. The music video similarly follows Stephanie through the inner turmoil of battling conflicting emotions of a maybe relationship. The fantastical and fluorescent textures, colors and themes that come to life in the video are representative of the darker more emotional tones of the PM side of her forthcoming ‘AM : PM’.
Speaking on “Selfish”, Stephanie explains, “It’s a song about contemplating and battling with yourself about whether you have the right to be selfish in this new relationship not relationship, when you have someone but you don’t really, and just working through all of those extremely complicated feelings”
The EP ‘AM : PM’ manifests Stephanie’s light hearted daydreams and solemn midnight queries in the form of a musical project. The flow of the tracklist represents the duality between emotions that can arise during the morning (hopeful, energised, love) versus the evening (in your feelings, somber, melancholy). Starting with bright acoustic sounds and harmonies then leading into elements of R&B (soft guitar and bass), ‘AM : PM’ transitions seamlessly from day to night sonically when you listen to the tracks from top to bottom.

SELFISH LYRICS | STEPHANIE POETRI
Friday where you at
Then I hit you back
Hit you with that come through
Cause I know you want to
Saturday I’m out
at the party wow
Didn't think you’d be here
Who's that girl I see here
You’re so automatic
Over dramatic
the way I can’t let it go
I know that we said that we’d keep it all on the low
Noooo
I don’t wanna be selfish
Yeah
But I am when it comes to you
I don’t wanna be desperate
Yeah
But I am when I can’t have you
I don’t want to want you as bad as I want you
But i know that you want me too
I don’t wanna be selfish
Yeah
But I am when it comes to you
Sunday i’m in bed
All up in my head
Why you even in there
Really thought I didn’t care
And I’ve been trying to catch a vibe
Bout to lose my mind
Cause when we’re together feels like we’re together
You’re so automatic
Over dramatic
the way I can’t let it go
I know that we said that we’d keep it all on the low
Noooo
I don’t wanna be selfish
Yeah
But I am when it comes to you
I don’t wanna be desperate
Yeah
But I am when I can’t have you
I don’t want to want you as bad as I want you
But i know that you want me too
I don’t wanna be selfish
Yeah
But I am when it comes to you
But I am
But I am
But I am
But I am
When it comes to you
But I am
But I am
But I am
But I am
When I can’t have you
I don’t want to want you as bad as I want you
But i know that you want me too
I don’t wanna be selfish (yeah)
But I am when it comes to you
I don’t wanna be selfish
I don’t wanna be desperate
Yeah
I don’t want to want you as bad as I want you
But i know that you want me too
I don’t wanna be selfish
Yeah
But I am when it comes to you
