Move over, soap operas—this song delivers more plot twists in one chorus than a whole season of reality TV. Spoiler alert: Nancy, Britney, and Jane all make an appearance, and none of them are safe.
Sarah Louise McIntosh is not here to play nice. In fact, she’s re-releasing one of the sassiest pop kiss-offs of the last decade: W.T.F—a track originally dropped in 2017 and now getting the glossy, neon-lit comeback it deserves. Think high-drama vocals, Italo Disco synths, and lyrics that read like the inside of a furious group chat. If you’ve ever been cheated on, side-eyed by your partner’s “work wife,” or just wanted to scream into a hairbrush with your best friend, this song is your new battle anthem.
“I really believe in the song, so I wanted to give it a second chance to shine,” says Sarah. And honestly, who could blame her? With its bold hooks, punchy production, and zero-tolerance for BS, WT.F is the kind of pop track that’s built to survive the trends. With producers Kristofer Östergren and Olle Blomström (the Swedish masterminds), the track is heavier on attitude, sharper in style, and wrapped in that classic retro-pop sheen that’s all the rage again. Depeche Mode fans, rejoice—this one’s for you too.
But don’t be fooled into thinking W.T.F is just a breakup song. Underneath the dancefloor drama is a songwriter who’s spent years crafting pop with real emotional bite. Sarah’s journey started way back with The Good Natured—her electro-pop band that once opened for everyone from Kylie to Imagine Dragons and even headlined the BBC Introducing Stage at Glastonbury. Not bad for a young girl who started making demos on her Gran’s throwaway Yamaha keyboard.
That same DIY spirit still fuels Sarah’s work today, but she’s evolved far past the indie blog buzz. Over the years, she’s built a reputation as a go-to songwriter in sessions from London to Los Angeles to Stockholm, working behind the scenes for Sony, Universal, and BMG. If you’ve watched anything on the BBC, Netflix, or Disney+, chances are you’ve already heard her music without even realizing it. She even landed a nomination at the Production Music Awards for her haunting soundtrack work on the BBC Earth Antarctica trailer.
Now, in 2025, Sarah isn’t chasing the pop star spotlight—she’s gunning for something more collaborative, more connective, and frankly, more fun. “I love writing with other people,” she says. “There’s nothing quite like coming together and sharing emotions and experiences to create beautiful songs.” That passion for co-writing and community is what fuels her current chapter, where she’s putting her solo releases out into the world not for fame, but to find kindred spirits to write with.
There’s never been a better time to link up with Sarah. W.T.F practically screams collaboration—it’s bold, melodic, cinematic, and undeniably pop. The lyrics may be cheeky (“Does she have a brain?” is delivered with such savage glee you can’t help but smirk), but underneath the sass is something empowering. “I wanted this song to be empowering to anyone who has ever been cheated on by their partner,” Sarah says. “It’s fun, it’s sassy, and it’s a big F U!”
Sarah’s ability to blend raw emotion with polished pop structure is no accident. She’s spent years honing her songwriting chops with some of the best in the business, including Brian Higgins and Miranda Cooper at Xenomania—the team behind Girls Aloud and Little Mix. That experience shines through in everything she does. Every lyric hits like a text you wish you hadn’t sent, every melody lingers like a perfume you can’t forget.
Stream W.T.F now. Play it loud. Dedicate it to your ex’s new fling. When the drama gets thick, remember that Sarah’s already written the soundtrack.
Nancy better watch her back.
