This Valentine's Day, LU takes a dive into the deep end as she explores the hatred, lies and deceit that love can morph into. 'PUCHA' is a blistering track that captures all the receipts and instances where the other person's actions sliced deep, creating scars that seem like they just won't heal.
In true LU fashion, she channels the rage that comes with the realisation into the track instead of focusing on the influx of sadness or disappointment. The underlying defiance that the track has comes through in the soaring pop punk and rock influences that the track presents, drawing from the cheating, the gaslighting and the choices that the person took while in the relationship, dragging you to a point of numbness that has no return.
Her emotional storytelling reverberates with each shred of her guitar and throughout the music video that echoes the garage punk 2000s emo style that this song has. LU plays all the instruments from drums to electric guitar, lead vocals and bass in the video. She slams the drumsticks on the drums and screams the lyrics in agony, depicting the emotion of the track through the video as well.
'PUCHA' isn’t just a song, it’s a cathartic release, a defiant anthem for anyone who’s been burned by love and refused to stay silent. With her raw vocals, blistering instrumentation, and unflinching honesty, LU turns heartbreak and betrayal into an empowering, high-octane declaration: pain can be felt, scars can remain, but strength and self-expression will always prevail.
