The Background
In October 2026, folk-pop prodigy Alyssa Grace surprised fans with a brand new song, ‘getting over u‘, released as part of Netflix's Nobody Wants This Season 3 soundtrack.
‘getting over u’ captures the atmospheric, evocative sound that Grace has honed in recent months, with the ‘bloodstream’ hitmaker cementing herself as a future star of the genre.
The Sound
Across ‘getting over u’, Grace leans into the ethereal, reverb-laden delivery of contemporaries like Gigi Perez, with the haunting backing vocals adding to the drama and gravitas of the track. Although the vocals feature heavy production, the instrumental is kept stripped-back and understated, with Grace singing across a simple strum of an acoustic guitar, accentuating the intimacy and vulnerability of the song.
The Meaning
‘getting over u’ finds Grace doing her best to get over a toxic relationship. She admits that she still yearns to fall back into his arms, expressing how she's “addicted to our bodies”. She spends the opening verse emphasising how devoted she was to him when they were together, underlining that it felt like her heart was on a string attached to him, and that she would've followed him to the end of the earth.
But ultimately, it became clear to her that he didn't truly love her, with Grace suggesting that the romance was purely physical in the heartbreaking hook. She now feels lonely, but not as lonely as she felt when she was trying to make him love her.
As the despairing offering approaches its conclusion, Grace hints that her old flame has already moved on, using a clever piece of wordplay (“I'm over that you're under her”). She conveys how a part of her still longs to be reconnected with her ex and reestablish their ‘tether’. But at the same time, you get the sense she knows she's made the right decision in cutting the ties that were making her unhappy.

“And I'm addicted to our bodies
When we're standing in the mirror
I wish that I could tie myself to you
And we could hide together
And my heart is on a string
Don't wanna leave 'cause I am tethered
I would walk to where I shouldn't be
To stay with you forever
-
And getting over you feels lonely
But begging you to love me was worse
And I liked the way that I felt nauseous
Watching what we worked for burn
And in real time, you watched my smile fade
As I watched you fall out of love
But I know that you only wanted to touch me
When I undressed and turned you on
-
But I kept pushing you away
Before you got the chance to leave
What doesn't kill you in reality
Will haunt you in your dreams
And there's glitter on my desk
And your shit's all on my floor
And I'm a mess, I called you three times
And then blacked out after four
-
And getting over you feels lonely
But begging you to love me was worse
And I liked the way that I felt nauseous
Watching what we worked for burn
And in real time, you watched my smile fade
While I watched you fall out of love
But I know that you only wanted to touch me
When I undressed and turned you on
-
And I'm over that you're under her
But I can't stop thinking 'bout it
And my stomach's starting to rot
From the way you make me you sick”
