As an alt-pop artist known for turning her darkest moments into quirky bangers, Emily Ricks brings raw, confessional storytelling to her music. Poor Rich Girl is an upbeat yet emotionally charged track inspired by British ‘80s bangers and personal experiences with mean girls and deception. Loosely based on a girl she once knew in highschool whose father turned out to be a con man, the song explores themes of bullying, facade, and resilience, all wrapped in an infectious, high-energy production.
Emily Ricks has been building an immediately recognizable brand through social media, with previous releases gaining significant traction, including Call It Falling, which has amassed over 300K streams since its release in late July. With successful posts on Instagram and a strong presence on TikTok, she has also been featured in EARMILK, further cementing her place in the alt-pop space.
Emily Ricks plans to promote Poor Rich Girl through strategic social media content, including engaging Instagram reels, TikTok videos, and audience interaction that reflects her signature raw and messy aesthetic.
Poor Rich Girl will be available on all streaming platforms on the 21st of February.
