Indie pop singer-songwriter PEGGY released “FRIENDS TO LOVERS” on June 6, 2025, a song she described as “both a manifestation and a ‘what if.'”
Lyrically, the song sounds like something straight from “BookTok.” Singing “I know it’s overwhelming / But darling I can’t help it / Wait for you to discover / We could be, we could be friends to lovers,” PEGGY resembles indie singer-songwriters like Dodie or Catie Turner. Later on, lyrics like “Already everything to each other / From a slow burn into a fire” hold attention from start to finish; it’s clear that PEGGY is an established storyteller.
PEGGY has become known for weaving her love of books, fictional characters, and emotional depth into her music. Her breakout moment came with the viral hit “Fictional Men,” which racked up over 20 million Spotify streams. With subsequent releases like “ALICE,” “Villains Aren’t Born (They’re Made),” and “FEMININE RAGE,” PEGGY has continued to carve out a space where pop meets fiction fanatics.
The video released on June 5, 2025, tells a story — a workplace crush turned friends to lovers. Similar to the song, the video is fun, giddy, and exciting. Along with the release of “FRIENDS TO LOVERS,” PEGGY announced the release of her Coming of Age EP, to be released sometime this fall.
