TEYA is dropping some serious heat with “Waxing Salon,” a cheeky standout from her debut EP Corporate Composer, hitting shelves November 28 via Warner Music Germany. This track’s got that playful edge, turning a mundane salon visit into a steamy, empowering vibe that’s already got fans buzzing from her TikTok teasers.
TEYA’s got this knack for turning everyday absurdities into hooks that linger, and Waxing Salon is her at full tilt. She sketched it out during a late-night brainstorming session in her London flat, blending indie pop’s crisp guitars with these glitchy electronic pulses that mimic a fluorescent office buzz. It’s got that wry alt-pop edge, think Phoebe Bridgers meets Charli XCX lite, where the beat drops just enough to make you nod along while she unpacks the title’s double meaning: the literal strip of a salon visit as metaphor for shedding corporate armor, chasing fleeting confidence amid the hum of fluorescent lights and small talk. No big-name producers here, just TEYA and her co-writer looping in samples from old voicemails, keeping it intimate and raw.
Corporate Composer promises four tracks of genre-blending magic, including collabs like “Talk That Talk” with E TEYA and “Girls Like Girls,” all previewed on Spotify for pre-save. TEYA’s stepping out strong after her Eurovision buzz with Salena, channeling that same quirky energy into a project that’s equal parts corporate satire and raw self-expression.
TEYA’s stepping into her own at 28, right after that viral TikTok run with her demo for this very track last spring, which pulled in half a mil views and a label deal that felt like fate. She’s traded spreadsheets for stages, opening for acts like Arlo Parks on their fall jaunt, and this album’s her way of owning the awkward in-between without apology.
X lit up when she shared the cover art yesterday, all pastel office chairs and strip lights, with fans threading it into memes about Monday rituals and guessing at the full lineup. If her EPs were sketches, this is the full canvas.

Lyrics of Waxing Salon by TEYA
I’m Just A Girl At A Waxing Salon
And I Spent All My Money
To Fix What Is Wrong
Like My Mother Before Me
Her Mother Too
We Just Pull At Our Skin
To Be Liked By A Dude
And I’m Just A Girl In A Waiting Room
At A Doctor’s Office Finding The Truth
That My Body’s A Mystery, A Laugh In My Face
No Funds For A Research To Make Me Okay
And Sometimes It’s Hard To Be A Woman
Hard To Be A Human
Living To Survive
But If I Could I Would Always Choose This
Body And Abuse Be
Me In Every Life
A Woman I’ll Die
A Woman I’ll Die
And I’m Just A Girl That Has Seen Too Much Shit
With A Chain From My Heart Going Straight To My Wrist
This World Has Been Broken And Broken Again
But It’s Always Been Women That Heal In The End
This Earth Is A Mother That’s Destined For Death
It Runs Around Circles Of Horrible Men
But We Rose From The Ashes, Fought Off The Flames
Oh I’m Proud To Be Born From Suffragette Veins
Oh Sometimes It’s Hard To Be A Woman
Hard To Be A Human
Living To Survive
But If I Could I Would Always Choose This
Body And Abuse Be
Me In Every Life
A Woman I’ll Die
A Woman I’ll Die
