LOS ANGELES (Friday, August 8) – Today, Alemeda drops “1-800 F**K-YOU” via Top Dawg Entertainment/Warner Records. The track is a cheeky, no-filter anthem for anyone who’s ever been the main character in someone else’s group chat. With razor-sharp delivery and zero tolerance for fakes, Alemeda flips the script on drama, turning side-eyes into spotlight. Equal parts petty and powerful, “1-800 F**K-YOU” is a playful clapback wrapped in hot-girl confidence.

Speaking on the track, Alemeda says: ““1-800-F**K-YOU” is really just about how I couldn’t care less what people think because I truly believe your haters are always your biggest fans. It’s cocky, and it’s a little petty in the cutest way.”
Calling on her pop, rock, and indie sensibilities, alt-pop princess (and self-proclaimed “cat mom”) Alemeda creates music as a form of self-expression and empowerment. The emerging Ethiopian-Sudanese singer-songwriter and producer first turned heads with her 2021 UK garage single “Gonna Bleach My Eyebrows,” which has earned over 14 million streams to date. Since then, Alemeda has leaned into her alt-pop-rock muse, showcasing her creative production and genre fluidity throughout her music. She does this seamlessly on her 2024 debut EP, FK IT, where her unfiltered emotion and compelling storytelling have cemented her as a bold, magnetic artist to watch. The success and critical acclaim of the indie-pop star’s debut project earned her opening slots on tours for both Rachel Chinouriri and Halsey recently.
Alemeda is currently on a full festival run across North America and Europe, with stops at major events like Lollapalooza and Osheaga. Stay tuned for more!
