Review & Press Interview: ‘he’s still just not that into you’ by Amelia Moore

He’s still just not that into you sees Amelia Moore returns with another batch of brutally honest songs, where she digs deep into the hauntingly relatable real-life situations and paints with style. The mixtape, released earlier this month, catches the artist as her boldest. Experimental, unapologetic, almost a little indie, he’s still just not that into you is all blood, tears, and hearts. Moore isn’t holding back, creatively or emotionally.

Blending aesthetic and her fashion styles with the crafting a distinctive sonic experience, Moore’s signature orange hair has a deeper meaning. She revealed that she had envisioned it as part of the creative vision of “f*ck, marry, kill” in the early stage of the song. “I knew I wanted the hair to be part of the world for this song because hair holds so much meaning,” she explained. “Like, letting your hair down means being vulnerable, but it’s also feeling sexy and comfortable in who you are.”

In “f*ck, marry, kill,” Moore sang about the overwhelming experience of falling for someone and the overflowing emotions and drama that come with it, and her exceedingly long orange hair was a metaphor for the song. “It was just very dramatic cry for help, and we needed the long hair to get the emotion across.”

Moore wrote “spelling bee” with Julia Michaels, who she praised as her “icon” and “songwriting hero.” The seemingly lighthearted song is intense in its own way. It explores nuanced and complicated sensual experiences in another direction. As Moore put it, “spelling bee” is about “being horny as hell,” having all the desires penned up inside but not knowing how to let it out.

Press Q&A with Amelia Moore

Q: What can we expect from your upcoming EP, he’s still just not that into you! ?

Amelia Moore: Lots of honesty, lighthearted, silly me showcasing my personality more in my music and hopefully everybody’s fucking with it.

Q: This new release is part two of the mixtape you dropped last year. Was a part two always in the plan, or did it naturally evolve into that?

Moore: I think it was always a thought in my mind. But the way that it has come together has been greater than I was hoping for it to be whenever I first started to put the tracklist together for the first project. I’m really, really proud of how this part two came out. All of the marketing and visuals going into it have been really fun to shoot.

Q: What song are you most excited for people to hear on your EP, and why?

Moore: I think “see through it” because “see through” was such an impactful moment for me this past year, and I gained so many followers and listeners from that song. All of those people who have stuck around for this mixtape will hear it and will be like “Wait a second, I was there when this came out. This is something that is familiar to me and that I’ve heard before.” I hope people are gonna freak out about it because I was when I wrote it.

Q: It’s been a long journey to get to this release and your exciting new record deal with Republic Records. During the moments when things weren’t falling into place, who or what kept you grounded, writing, and growing? 

Moore: After I got dropped from my first record deal and couldn’t get out of bed literally at all for like three months, he was coming over to my house every day, forcing me out of bed to go to the gym with him. We would run to Target and get a camcorder and drive around LA and film a bunch of content together. He stuck by me through that whole era where I needed my friends the most, and some of them weren’t really there for me in the way that he was and he’s the best. I owe a lot of me coming out on the other side to friendships like those.

Q: What kind of fan reaction were you hoping for when you released “fuck, marry, kill”?

Moore: I definitely wanted people to be stoked that I’m starting to release music this year. “fuck, marry, kill” was my first single of 2025. I was hoping everyone would hear it and get excited for what’s to come, and I’m thinking that’s exactly what happened.

Q: When you find yourself in a creative rut, what do you usually turn to? Any habits, environments or even non-musical sources that help you reconnect with your creativity?

Moore: The ocean, the beach, gotta go to the water and spend time with my friends. When I find myself in a creative rut, it means that I’m not living enough life to pull inspiration from. I just gotta go out and have fun.
