Catie Turner outlines a revenge plot against her ex in her new single “Step Mom.”

“Step Mom” has been a fan favorite for months, with many anticipating the release as Turner has been playing the unconventional pop song throughout her tour with Léon.

The song begins by marking the turnover point after a breakup. It still feels fresh, but she’s recovering, she’s doing well, and she’s dating a new man. 

As the chorus hits, jaws surely drop as the “new man” is revealed to be her ex’s father. it’s comical, but the message of making an ex regret ending things presented as a bold, striking pop song will always be satisfying. It’s a fresh take on a breakup anthem that is just as entertaining as it is musically impressive.

Turner is a self-proclaimed “overthinking, overwhelmed musician with a talent in overcomplicating situations,” yet these same traits are likely what makes her such an expressive artist with a profound storytelling ability, and this surely comes through in “Step Mom.”
