DAMEDAME* Serves Up a Masterclass in Self-Love with New Single “LUV MYSELF”

There are tracks you throw on just to vibe, and then there are songs that hit right when you need to recalibrate. DAMEDAME*’s new alternative-pop single, “LUV MYSELF” sits squarely in that second category—an effortlessly cool, introspective anthem that deserves a spot in heavy rotation.

Lifted from their project DREAMS ON THE PASSENGER SEAT, “LUV MYSELF” blends smooth production with fiercely independent lyrics, proving why this rising duo is one of the most exciting acts to watch right now.

Inside the Track: Sound and Story

Clocking in at a breezy 2 minutes and 29 seconds, “LUV MYSELF” wastes zero time getting under your skin. Written and composed by core creative forces Barbara Boko and Edith Nelson, the song is built around a sticky hook and an immersive atmospheric soundscape.

Lyrically, it tackles that heavy, necessary shift of choosing your own peace over keeping someone else happy. Lines like, “You love to ignore it, but you’re worried that I’ve changed,” hit close to home because they feel completely lived-in and real.

World-Class Production Credits

What really elevates the release is the powerhouse lineup behind the board. “LUV MYSELF” features pristine mixing and mastering by multi-Grammy-winning engineer Jaycen Joshua, alongside mixing engineer Mike Seaberg and assistant engineers Jacob Richards, DJ Riggins, and Rachel Blum. The result is a lush, dynamic mix—crisp percussion meets warm, enveloping basslines—that sounds just as good on high-end studio monitors as it does on late-night car drives.

Why DAMEDAME* is the Act to Watch

Following momentum from previous standout releases like FREEDOM (featuring Jorja Smith) and PROMISE, DAMEDAME* continues to operate entirely on their own terms. DREAMS ON THE PASSENGER SEAT is shaping up to be an impressively versatile body of work, but “LUV MYSELF” stands tall as a definitive personal anthem.
