Get ready to vibe with SAD SOB STORY! š, a bold and biting anthem from Lola Youngās 2025 album Iām Only F**king Myself, set to drop on September 19, 2025. The London-based singer-songwriter, known for her raw, genre-blending mix of soul, pop, and indie grit, delivers a cathartic kiss-off to toxic relationships with this track. Fresh off her 2023 album My Mind Wanders and Sometimes Leaves Completely, Lola channels her signature wit and emotional depth, crafting a song thatās equal parts empowering and unapologetic. Teased during her summer 2025 festival run, SAD SOB STORY! š has fans on X buzzing, with posts calling it a ābreakup bangerā that captures the albumās theme of self-reclamation and cutting ties.
In this track, Lola flips the script on heartbreak, spitting lines like āKeep your sad sob story, ācause I wonāt read it anywayā with a smirk you can hear. The lyrics dig into the aftermath of a draining relationshipāthink petty fights over orange sofas and mean-spirited jabs that hit too low. Itās a middle finger to exes who drag you down, wrapped in infectious melodies and punchy production that echo her earlier hits like āSo Sickā but with a sharper edge. Compared to other Iām Only F**king Myself tracks like āConceitedā or āDonāt Hate Me,ā this song leans into Lolaās knack for blending humor with raw honesty, making it a standout for anyone whoās ever walked away and felt free. Dive into the SAD SOB STORY! š lyrics below and embrace its fierce freedom. Donāt miss other Iām Only Fking Myself tracks for more of Lola Youngās unfiltered magic.

Lyrics of SAD SOB STORY! š by Lola Young
[Verse 1]
If I Was A Talent, Baby, You’d Be An Expert
I Said That I Could Manage, Fuck, I Didn’t Need A Lecture
And You’re So Sick That You Made Me Miss My Best Friend’s Birthday
‘Cause You Hated How She Pointed Out
That The Jokes That You Made About Me Weren’t Ever That Funny
They Were Just To Put Me Down
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m So Glad We’re Over
No More Fighting, Then Trying, Then Fighting Again
And You Can Keep The Damn Sofa
‘Cause I Never Liked The Orange, But You Hated The Red
[Chorus]
Guess I Had To Let You Go To Know That I Didn’t Need You In The First Place
But Life’s About Learning, And I Could Show You That The Hard Way
But I Don’t Stalk Your Instagram ’cause I Don’t Care To Know, Mate
Who You’ve Been Sleeping With Is No Longer My Business
And, Damn, It Feels Good, It Feels Great
I Moved On, But I Just Wanted To Say
Best Of Luck To Ya, And I Hope You’re Happy Someday
But Keep Your Sad Sob Story, ’cause I Won’t Read It Anyway
[Post-Chorus]
You Can Keep Your Sad Sob Story, Cause I Won’t Read It Anyway
You Can Keep Your Sad Sob Story, Cause I Won’t Read It Anyway
[Verse 2]
Ä°f Being Mean Was A Habit, You Must Be A Dick Then
It’s Hard To Imagine What World You Think You Live In
’cause If You Did It When You Thought The Closest Thing To You
I’ll Punch Your Fist Through The Wall Like It Was Made Of Sand
Darling, You’re Mad, Worse Than My Dad
You Should Get Therapy Or A Punching Bag
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m So Glad We’re Over
No More Trying, Then Fighting, Then Fighting Again
And You Can Keep The Damn Sofa
‘Cause I Never Liked The Orange, But You Hated The Red
[Chorus]
So I Had To Let You Go To Know That I Didn’t Need You In The First Place
But Life’s About Learning, And I Could Show You That The Hard Way
But I Don’t Stalk Your Instagram ’cause I Don’t Care To Know, Mate
Who You’ve Been Sleeping With Is No Longer My Business
And, Damn, It Feels Good, It Feels Great
I Moved On, But I Just Wanted To Say
Best Of Luck To You, And I Hope You’re Happy Someday
But Keep Your Sad Sob Story, Cause I Won’t Read It Anyway
[Post-Chorus]
You Can Keep Your Sad Sob Story, Cause I Won’t Read It Anyway
You Can Keep Your Sad Sob Story, It’s Alright With The, With Theā
[Chorus]
I Had To Let You Go To Know That I Didn’t Need You In The First Place
Life’s About Learning, And It Can Show You That The Hard Way
But I Don’t Stalk Your Instagram, I Don’t Care To Know, Mate
Who You’ve Been Sleeping With’s No Longer My Business
And, Damn, It Feels Good, It Feels Great
I Moved On, But I Just Needed To Say
Best Of Luck To You, And I Hope You’re Happy Someday
But Keep Your Sad Sob Story, ’cause I Won’t Read It,
I Won’t Read It Anyway
[Post-Chorus]
You Can Keep Your Sad Sob Story,
Cause I Won’t Read, I Won’t Read It Anyway, Ayy
I Won’t Read It Anyway
[Outro]
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah
