Pop Singer/Songwriter Annika Wells Shares “F*ck Being Sober” Music Video

Gaining buzz right out of the gate, Los Angeles-based pop singer and songwriter Annika Wells shares the music video for her debut solo single “Fuck Being Sober” today. Watch the Logan Fields(Slayyyter, Rod Wave, Cupcakke)-directed video below and get it HERE via Vol. 1/Epic Records.

At the beginning of the visual, Annika shakes off her slumber still wrapped in glitter and covered in sharpie. She proceeds to drink her way through the best night ever with her day-one girl gang as whipped cream, fireworks, and loads of alcohol get put to very good use over the course of the evening. The clip brings the song to life with its carpe diem message, youthful bliss, and dizzying nostalgia.

Attracting tastemaker attention, she recently sat down with American Songwriter for an in-depth interview about the song and so much more.

“Fuck Being Sober” sets the stage for more music from Annika coming later this year. In fact, on Valentine’s Day she hopped on Instagram to cheekily tease her new song, “Love Sux,” due soon.

Annika’s voice has coursed through popular culture as a writer and as a vocalist. She has notably penned tracks for acts like The Jonas Brothers, PRETTYMUCH, BTS, and Steve Aoki, to name a few. Additionally, her vocals powered “Nightlight” by Illenium and “Run It” by Midnight Kids, which both captured #1 at Dance Radio.

“Fuck Being Sober” introduces Annika as an unapologetic, unfiltered, and undeniable new voice for pop. Get ready for a whole lot more soon.

About Annika Wells:
Most people keep personal, embarrassing, and crazy thoughts to themselves. Annika Wells isn’t one of those people. She doesn’t just express these thoughts out loud either. She peppers them throughout her songs with the kind of honesty you expect from your childhood best friend. In her music, she’ll rattle off bucket list ambitions, refer to herself phallically, or write about a doomed romance (with that same ex as her cowriter). After watching her older brother play piano, she started taking classical lessons at the age of four, and eventually ended up at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Before dropping out, she linked up with producer Giulio Cercato and wrote and recorded what would become her first single “Break” in 2016. It caught fire around the world, catapulted onto the Spotify Global Viral Chart, and eventually eclipsed 15 million Spotify streams. She wrote and featured on “Crawl Outta Love” for Illenium, amassing 58 million Spotify streams, reaching the Top 30 on the Billboard Hot/Dance Electronic Songs Chart, and notching the International Songwriting Competition (ISC) Grand Prize. Between performing in sold out arenas across the country with Illenium throughout 2019, she landed a string of major placements as a writer for The Jonas Brothers, PRETTYMUCH, BTS, and Steve Aoki. After racking up over half a billion-plus streams, she welcomes everyone into her mind and heart on a series of 2021 singles and her forthcoming debut for Vol. 1/Epic Records led by the single “Fuck Being Sober.”
