Maggie Andrew’s New Track “How to Sing for Money”

Alt-pop wild child Maggie Andrew is back, and she’s not pulling any punches. Her latest single, “How to Sing for Money,” is part diss track, part industry exposé, and all fire. Laced with ‘80s guitar licks, sharp-as-hell lyrics, and the kind of pop sensibility that screams main pop girl energy, Maggie flips the script on pain-for-profit pop—then sells it back to you with a smirk.

The track is a glossy middle finger to the heartbreak that inspired it, with Maggie cheekily offering to teach her ex how to monetize their mess. Underneath the catchy melodies and ironic swagger, she’s dragging the music industry for rewarding emotional wreckage while simultaneously thriving within it. It’s the ouroboros of pop, and Maggie’s riding it straight to the top.

A Nova Scotia Rebel Goes Global

Born and raised in Nova Scotia, Maggie’s come-up is anything but cookie-cutter. After sharing her first track with her brother (Olympic snowboarder and artist Trevor Andrew), she left for L.A. and never looked back. Since then, she's linked up with producers behind The Weeknd, Doja Cat, and Kendrick Lamar—basically, she’s in her main character era.

And the industry is taking notes. With over 6 million streams and a trophy shelf that includes back-to-back ECMA wins and CBC Music’s Searchlight crown, Maggie’s not just playing the game—she’s rewriting it.

Streaming With Bite

“How to Sing for Money” isn’t just another breakup bop. It’s a meta-pop moment that plays with fame, failure, and what it costs to be vulnerable when everyone’s watching. It’s glossy. It’s clever. It’s painfully relatable. And it sounds like the future of alt-pop.
