“OMG” —Suki Waterhousefans have an exciting year ahead of them!
On Thursday, the singer-songwriter, 32, dropped the single“OMG”and its strikingmusic video— kickstarting the release of her untitled but forthcoming sophomore album that’s due out later this year.
The new pop-rock track, which is full of ‘90s-tinged guitars and an exuberant, sticky-sweet chorus, finds the indie star reflecting on a sordid romance and searching for the person she was before succumbing to the toxicity of their affair.

In the music video, it’s as if the singer/model portrays a cabaret starlet or an Old Hollywood icon in mourning. Along with a pair of dancers, she traipses around a greenhouse that’s lush with dahlias, roses and more florals in bloom — bursting into choreography and eventually breaking a vase, as if trying to shake off the painful memories of what once was.
By the end of the visual, as theDaisy Jones & the Sixactress' hair is down in curls and she dons a red dress (accentuating herpregnant belly), it’s as if there’s a sense of relief — and she’s allowed herself to go back to the way that she was, as the lyrics plead.
“Oh my God / Take me back the way that I was / Oh my God / You know I only tried to play your games / So you cannot forget my name / You and I, and I’ve been saying / You always had it easy,” Waterhouse sings on the track, which she co-wrote with Natalie Findlay and Jules Apollinaire.
The video comes one week after the “Good Looking” singer teased iton Instagramwith a fun clip of her cracking an egg that was made to look like it had a slip of paper with the release date inside.

“OMG” comes a little over a month after the musician released a holiday cover of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” for charity. Upon the single’s release, she told PEOPLE that she’s“been living in the studio essentially”and teased her upcoming project.
The pop-rock star said, “Writing is so cathartic for me — I can’t wait to share more soon!”

Several weeks after the singer-songwriter confirmed she and the actor, 37, were getting ready to welcome their first born, a film source told PEOPLE that the pair was “thrilled beyond words.”
Another insider added, “They are ready for a child, and looking forward to becoming parents. Even though they are both professionals who work a great deal, this is something they want.”
