I received an early listen to Madison Margot’s single “Fun,” available everywhere on June 27, and it lives up to its name in the most unexpected way. A radiant fusion of indie pop shimmer and rock edge, the track pulses with nostalgia and late-night longing. It’s the kind of song that wraps you in neon melancholy — upbeat enough to move to, but bittersweet enough to hit you right in the heart.

Speaking about the track, Madison says, “I wrote it about wanting just one more night with an old love, where you forget what went wrong and just relive the beauty and magic. It’s a song to dance around your room in the midst of heartbreak and healing. It’s a song for anyone who’s prone to romanticizing the past.”

That push and pull, between joy and ache, memory and motion, is what Madison Margot does best. The Los Angeles-born artist has carved out a space where vulnerability takes center stage, wrapped in lush, cinematic arrangements. A fifth-generation Angeleno with deep roots in the city’s creative culture, she began writing songs at age eleven and never looked back. Her music feels like diary entries set to anthemic production — deeply personal, yet instantly relatable.

Her debut project, The Chronicles of Lovers, produced by hitmaker Kyle Shearer (who worked with Tove Lo, Caroline Polachek, Carly Rae Jepsen), introduced Madison as a storyteller with both emotional weight and sonic ambition. Tracks like “God Laughs” and “If We Fall” show a songwriter unafraid to explore the complexities of love and loss, while her most recent single, “TOO MUCH!” — a moody, slow-burn collaboration with Tone Def (Nat & Alex Wolff) — leans into shadowier emotional terrain.

What sets Madison apart is not just her voice or her production, but the intentionality behind her artistry. With a degree in Gender and Women’s Studies, she brings a thoughtful, feminist lens to her work, collaborating exclusively with female directors and prioritizing women-led creative spaces. It’s not just about making music, it’s about building a world where women’s stories are heard, respected, and celebrated.

Her time living in the U.K. also left a permanent mark on her musical DNA, introducing a darker, more atmospheric layer to her otherwise sun-drenched Los Angeles sound. That duality — transatlantic, intimate yet expansive — gives her songs a sense of place and emotional depth that sets her apart from the crowd.

With glowing coverage in Wonderland, Rolling Stone India, EARMILK, and Ones to Watch, and live performances at LA staples like The Viper Room and The Peppermint Club, Madison Margot is becoming a name to know. Her shows blend emotional rawness with vibrant energy, one moment you’re swaying in your feelings, the next you’re shouting lyrics with strangers who feel like old friends.

“Fun” continues that trajectory. It’s an ode to what could’ve been, wrapped in shimmering guitars and anthemic hooks. It’s not just a summer song — it’s a memory waiting to be made.
