Liberty – Call Me Back, Babe: 13th Floor New Song Of The Day
Hawkes Bay / Auckland, NZ – 20-year-old pop artist Liberty peels back the layers of heartbreak in her new single, Call Me Back, Babe, a stripped-back acoustic-pop track that spirals through the emotional chaos of wanting someone who’s already let go.
Here is the blurb with more:
“It’s about going through a breakup and wanting to talk to your ex, but they won’t call you back,” Liberty says.
Co-written and produced with Lucid Heist at Parachute Studios, the track pairs Taylor Swift-style songwriting with Gracie Abrams-inspired production, intimate, vulnerable, and raw. Despite working together in Auckland, both artists are originally from Hawke’s Bay, adding a full-circle feeling to their first-ever session.
Call Me Back, Babe weaves sonic details that reflect the emotional unraveling, from voicemails and clock ticks to EQ’d guitars mimicking phone calls. But unlike previous singles, Liberty and Lucid kept the production purposefully minimal to let the lyrics cut through.
“I’m really proud of the songwriting on this one,” she shares. “Writing it was healing for me. I hope it can do that for someone else.”
One standout lyric “My friends think I’m crazy, my God they almost hate me” captures the isolation of going back to someone your friends doesn’t understand. It’s that honest, messy emotional space that Liberty is quickly becoming known for.
Call Me Back, Babe is her 4th release, coming out 5th December 2025. Liberty’s work has already earned her 350K+ followers across TikTok and Instagram, 110K+ streams on her debut single “I Wanna,” radio support from ZM, The Edge, and Radio NZ, and had music charting at #5 on the Hot NZ Singles Chart.
