Indie darling Jazzie Young finds solace in her sound in latest track “Waiting On You!”

Hanging onto the idea of love is a dangerous game. Emotionally draining, you’ll remain yearning for something that might never come your way. Even if it does, will you have the energy left to grab it? Rising indie-rocker Jazzie Young knows this feeling well, and in her latest single “Waiting On You!”, she reclaims the power she lost to unreciprocated feelings with the help of buzzing guitars, soft synths, and a dreamy vocal line. Now she’s moving lightly, running with arms wide open into a future unknown.

Guitars strum softly across a series of unique chord progressions on the track, bringing a refreshing texture and depth to its sound. Complete with driving drums and a sunny synthesizer setting the backdrop for Young’s vulnerable lyrics, “Waiting On You!” strikes a perfect balance between tenderness and valiance.

“'Waiting on You!' is a song about a crush and the anxiety and excitement that can bring up in you. The stomach butterfly feelings you get when you like someone but aren’t sure how they feel about you, so every interaction has a loaded energy to it,” Young said about the single.

"Waiting on You!" is an early standout release for the 2025 pop scene. For all fans of confessional songwriters like Olivia Rodrigo and Alix Page or Mallrat and Ellur, it might be time to add rising star Jazzie Young to your playlists just ahead of her debut album. Inspired by the songwriting of her father Jesse Colin Young, there’s much more to come from this artist. If there’s one thing you take away from this track, let it be this: Stop waiting around for love. Run confidently into the unknown instead.
