Amanda McCarthy has thrown the script out the window with her new single, “LOL WTF,” which is like the final scene of an indie movie you didn’t realize you'd find relatable, hilarious, tragic, messy, and painfully true. With razor-witted smarts and a brave degree of self-awareness, McCarthy twists her own misfortunes into an inside joke shared with listeners, challenging them to laugh sanity in the face rather than let it eat them alive.
"LOL WTF" comes to life in the gorgeously unhitched moments. From winks at dirty laundry to emotional curveballs that seem scripted by a sleep-deprived screenwriter, McCarthy impales her own plot twists with kind candor. There’s the line that captures it all, If this is how my movie ends, I’m firing the writers. It’s the kind of lyric that instantly lands, clever, cutting, and completely relatable.
It conjures the nostalgic shimmer of Wilson Phillips but mixes in the diaristic, contemporary storytelling edge of Taylor Swift. The result feels timeless yet unmistakably of the moment, a pop confessional nestled in perfect comic timing, the chorus seals the deal with its instant-hook mantra, LOL, what the f*k, I can’t make this sht up. It’s bold. It’s refreshingly unfiltered.
With "LOL WTF," Amanda McCarthy doesn’t merely break the fourth wall, she laughs right through it, reminding us all that in a world goin’ to hell, sometimes the only reasonable response is to hit play & sing along.
