Amelia Moore Talks New EP 'he’s still just not that into you!'

Singer-Songwriter Amelia Moore is set to release her new EP, he’s still just not that into you!, on May 9, 2025, via Republic Records.

This new release is part two of the mixtape you dropped last year. Was a part two always in the plan, or did it naturally evolve into that?

Amelia: I think it was always a thought in my mind. But the way that it has come together has been greater than I was hoping for it to be whenever I first started to put the tracklist together for the first project. I’m really, really proud of how this part two came out. All of the marketing and visuals going into it have been really fun to shoot.

What can we expect from your upcoming EP, he’s still just not that into you! ?

Amelia: Lots of honesty, lighthearted, silly me showcasing my personality more in my music and hopefully everybody’s fucking with it.

What kind of fan reaction were you hoping for when you released "fuck, marry, kill"?

Amelia: I definitely wanted people to be stoked that I'm starting to release music this year. "fuck, marry, kill" was my first single of 2025. I was hoping everyone would hear it and get excited for what's to come, and I'm thinking that's exactly what happened.

You have a knack for creating catchy hooks and choruses. How do you know when you've created something that sticks?

Amelia: When I can't get it out of my own head and I'm singing it on my way home. I work with a lot of my friends, and I'm lucky to even say that. I think a good way to make something catchy that you’re also going to love is fuck around with your friends and not take yourself too seriously. A good way to know if you made something that is gonna stick is that if it's sticking with you.

You’ve had some huge moments already, like working with Timbaland and performing on Jimmy Kimmel. What’s something you’re still dreaming of doing that might surprise people?

Amelia: Of course, my big, big major career goal for ten years from now is to play the Super Bowl. Which feels very far away right now, but I love to think about my big SuperBowl performance when I'm planning the shows I'm about to play, and kind of like "What is my version of playing the SuperBowl right now?"

You have an incredible wide range of diverse credits for major artists such as XG, Polo G, UMI, ASTN, etc. How does your approach to songwriting change when it’s for yourself versus for another artist?

Amelia: In a silly way, I think that writing for other artists can be easier because, as the writer in the room, I feel less attached to the artist's message as it's not my personal story. I'm just there to bounce ideas off the wall and play tennis with them. When I'm in sessions for my project, I take myself so seriously, and I'm analyzing every word and making sure it's perfect. Sometimes I need to lighten up on myself a little bit when I'm writing my own stuff. It’s funny you said ASTN, our song together, “next door” was originally not written as an Amelia Moore song. We wrote it as a pitch song. Sometimes you write things with other people in mind, and they end up fitting your project perfectly.

Did you have any experiences or inspirations that helped you with the songwriting process?

Amelia: Yeah, I think the only way I know how to write songs is from a really vulnerable place. A lot of my songs, even from my first project, were songs I had to write to get it off my chest. There are definitely some vulnerable moments on this mixtape too. So I'm excited for everybody to hear.

What song are you most excited for people to hear on your EP, and why?

Amelia: I think “see through it” because “see through” was such an impactful moment for me this past year, and I gained so many followers and listeners from that song. All of those people who have stuck around for this mixtape will hear it and will be like "Wait a second, I was there when this came out. This is something that is familiar to me and that I've heard before." I hope people are gonna freak out about it because I was when I wrote it.

Of all the songs on he’s still just not that into you!, which was the most difficult to create or perfect?

Amelia: There's a song called “that's all they really want,” which is a more sensitive and emotional song that was only difficult to get across the finish line because we wanted it to be perfect. We tried so many different versions of it, and I'm so proud of how the final ended up sounding. It's an interpretation of “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper.

What’s one thing you’ve learned about yourself through your music journey so far?

Amelia: That I'm stubborn. I'm a stubborn, stubborn girl. I've learned that throughout all the ups and downs and challenges that this career has put in front of me. I've learned that I'm a lot stronger than I thought I was. Which is a cool and sweet thing to know.

When you find yourself in a creative rut, what do you usually turn to? Any habits, environments or even non-musical sources that help you reconnect with your creativity?

Amelia: The ocean, the beach, gotta go to the water and spend time with my friends. When I find myself in a creative rut, it means that I'm not living enough life to pull inspiration from. I just gotta go out and have fun.
