Music By Men Lyrics – Florence + the Machine

Florence + the Machine’s “Music By Men” lands as a sharp, introspective cut on their sixth album, Everybody Scream, set to arrive on Halloween 2025. This 12-track project picks up from the raw energy of Dance Fever, but dives deeper into personal reckonings, with Florence Welch opening up about sexism in the industry, the catharsis of screaming, and a devastating lost pregnancy that pushed her to the edge. Produced by Aaron Dessner of The National, the song channels that vulnerability into a plea for space in a male-dominated world, blending orchestral swells with Florence’s soaring vocals over piano-driven builds that feel both haunting and defiant.

Revealed alongside “Sympathy Magic” just last week, “Music By Men” explores the friction between art and life, where Welch questions the structures that box in creativity – think lyrics that cut through like “all this music by men, where’s the room for us?” Fans on X and Reddit are already connecting it to her Guardian interview, where she shared how that near-death experience reshaped her songwriting, turning pain into something fierce and unfiltered. It’s got that classic Florence magic: ethereal yet grounded, with production that echoes the epic scope of Ceremonials but hits harder on the emotional truths. As the album promises a scream-therapy arc through tracks like the title cut and “How Big the World,” this one stands out for its quiet storm, inviting listeners to confront their own incompatibilities. Dive into the Music By Men lyrics below and unpack its defiant plea. Don’t miss other Everybody Scream tracks like One of the Greats for more of Florence + the Machine’s raw intensity.
