About This Song
Audrey Hobert stepped into the spotlight with Sue Me, a debut single that arrived on May 9, 2025, via RCA Records. The track marks her first official release under her own name after years of crafting hits behind the scenes for artists like Gracie Abrams. Working alongside producer Ricky Gourmet, Hobert penned an upbeat pop anthem about the raw need to feel wanted following a breakup. She also took charge of the visual component, directing and editing the accompanying music video herself.
The song blends contemporary pop sensibilities with an infectious melody that critics described as having a fun, vibrant vibe. Hobert drew lyrical inspiration from a personal incident where she slept with an ex-boyfriend, leading to an unapologetic reflection on her own desires. This approach resonated deeply with listeners who found the storytelling authentic and relatable.
By October 2026, the track officially entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart, marking a major milestone for the artist. Its momentum continued throughout late 2026, fueled by live performances at major festivals including ACL Fest in Austin and the kickoff of her "The Staircase to Stardom Tour" in Brooklyn.
