Strikes, spares, and spiral pop: Audrey Hobert’s Bowling Alley comes out June 20th 

With only one single currently out, Audrey Hobert is already proving she knows how to make a moment—equal parts gut-punch and punchline. 

After years behind the scenes writing for artists like her best friend Gracie Abrams, Hobert is launching her solo music career. Her debut single “Sue Me” introduced her sharp lyrical voice and offbeat charm, while her upcoming track “Bowling Alley,” set to release June 20, promises more of the same irresistible honesty. 

Much of Hobert’s early music career has been tied to longtime friend and collaborator Gracie Abrams. The two met as kids and eventually reconnected in the studio, where Hobert co-wrote multiple tracks on Abrams’ 2024 album The Secret of Us. Hobert was also featured on Abrams’ debut ep, Minor, with lines such as “Audrey said she saw you, out past 12 o’clock…” on track 2 of Minor, 21.  Their creative chemistry blends Hobert’s screenwriting background with Abrams’ introspective style, and Hobert credits that experience as the push she needed to finally release her own music. 

Hobert’s debut single “Sue Me” dropped in May of 2025 under RCA Records and quickly positioned Hobert as a new pop contender, quickly gaining over a million monthly listeners. With a hook that declares, “Sue me, I wanna be wanted,” the song is an anthem wrapped in fuzzy guitars and big pop beats. Inspired by a brief reunion with an ex, Hobert wrote the track to capture the messy aftermath of wanting someone even when you shouldn’t. 

“Bowling Alley,” teased across Audrey’s TikTok and Instagram, is her next chapter. Fans are already quoting snippets and speculating on its themes, with Hobert herself calling it her “very favorite” track. If “Sue Me” was the emotional spiral, “Bowling Alley” sounds like the offbeat recovery—set, fittingly, in the kind of late-night venue where emotions and neon lighting both run high. 

Audrey Hobert may be new to the spotlight, but her voice: clever, confessional, and completely her own—is already impossible to ignore.
