Zeph announces debut album, character development

Zeph has announced her debut album, character development.

Due out on June 16 via Hopeless, the 11-song record is being previewed today with infectious new single and album opener you don’t like me like that.

Zeph explains that the track “is about me being tired of a guy leading me on. It’s about me falling for it even though I already know he doesn’t actually like me and wishing he would just outright tell me so I could get closure and move on.

“I wrote the first half as a short song then finished the rest of it after I opened some shows on a Waterparks tour. The way Awsten [Knight] would yell the lyrics or even change them up to interact with the crowd inspired me to be more deliberate with how my own lyrics would play onstage, which is why I wrote ‘he’s making me go fucking crazy’ with the ‘go fucking crazy’ part over the break in the song!”

Listen to you don’t like me like that below:

The tracklist for character development is as follows:

1. you don’t like me like that
