Canadian Rising Pop Star Olivia Lunny Tries To Forget An Ex On “Sad To See You Happy”
22 year old break out star Olivia Lunny made waves in 2020 with her debut EP To The Ones I Loved, and is expected to do the same with her upcoming full-length out through recent signing with Universal Music Canada.
From the new release is her latest single “Sad To See You Happy”, a cheeky and melodic pop song about trying to move on from a toxic ex.
When asked about how the song came together, Olivia shared, “This song was so fun to write! It came to life one afternoon with Jenson Vaughan, Shaun Frank and AJ Healey. We were playing around with words and found ourselves exploring the concept of “love you to death” and being “sad to see someone happy”. We loved the idea of playing off of an oxymoron – this was the through line in our songwriting process. Sad to See You Happy is a very fun, vibrant song at first glance, the lyrics however, are subtly darker and reminiscent. The contradiction of these two make for a unique combo and will hopefully leave the listeners intrigued and dancing along!”
That intentional contrast comes to life in the music video, as Lunny’s new home in the sunny LA suburbs happens to be right next door to the ex she hopes to forget. From there, jealousy, toxicity, and innuendos take over for a colourful crazy-ex girlfriend story. Watch it below:
