Upsahl started playing both the guitar and piano at the age of five. She attended Arizona School for the Arts and is classically trained in piano, guitar, and voice. With a style that bridges thoughtful adult alternative fare and playful pop, American singer and songwriter UPSAHL debuted her warm voice and articulate lyrics on self-releases as early as her mid-teens.
Upsahl released a self-titled EP (as Taylor Upsahl) at age 14. In 2015, she wrote and self-produced her full-length debut album, "Viscerotonic". In 2017, her third album was released, "Unfamiliar Light". She quickly became a local favorite for national touring acts in Phoenix. Upsahl played the McDowell Mountain Music Festival in 2017, opening for The Shins, Beck, and Flume, and released her first single, "Can You Hear Me Now", that year.
She signed a recording deal with Arista Records in the summer of 2018. On March 8, 2019, she made her major-label debut with the EP "Hindsight 20/20" along with her single "Drugs". She was the first artist signed to the newly re-launched record label. "Drugs," which has been used in nearly 2 million TikTok videos, reached #6 on the Viral Chart and #1 on the Sounds Trends Chart.
In 2020, Upsahl released the single "12345SEX". This was followed by the singles "People I Don't Like" and "MoneyOnMyMind", both songs were included on her second EP, "Young Life Crisis". Billboard crowned the EP as one of the Top 25 Pop albums of the year.
She undertook her first co-write on "Good in Bed" for Dua Lipa's GRAMMY Award-winning, "Future Nostalgia", released on February 11, 2021. She's since lent her pen to Madison Beer, Mike Shinoda, Alan Walker, Anne-Marie, Little Mix, GAYLE, NGHTMRE and Renee Rapp to name a few.
In 2021, she released the singles "Douchebag", "Melatonin", "Time of my Life", and "Lunatic". All songs are featured on her debut studio album "Lady Jesus", which was released October 8, 2021. The album made her one of People Magazine’s “Talented Emerging Artists Making Their Mark” and “a musical force to be reckoned with” (Nylon).
UPSAHL’s highly successful debut headline tour, followed, where she sold out venues across the US, Australia, UK and Europe. Her high-octane performance earned her spots on Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Reading/Leeds, Rock en Seine and more.
Upsahl toured as an opening act for Olivia O'Brien in 2021, for Yungblud and FLETCHER in 2022 and for Tove Lo in 2023. In July 2023, Upsahl featured in a different version of K-pop girl group Le Sserafim's song Eye, Psyche & the Bluebeard's Wife.
GOOD GIRL ERA
UPSAHL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put all the vitamins into my body
Just a typical day, feeling void of any pain
And now I'm bored (I'm bored)
I suddenly I'm missing the high
Of running off fumes on a venomous vibe
I'm starting to forget what it's like
I'm in my good girl era, but I still feel bad
I'ma kill this bitch to get the chaos back
So give me pleasure, give me pain and give it to me fast
Because I'm bad at being good, and now I'm over it
Bleh
Got a halo over my head
Wearing all white, no red
I'm emotionally available
And I don't feel depressed
No more randoms up in my bed
Left the bad boys on read
Turns out stirring the pot isn't a hobby
I guess
I'm in my good girl era, but I still feel bad
I'ma kill this bitch to get the chaos back
So give me pleasure, give me pain and give it to me fast
Because I'm bad at being good, and now I'm over it
Bleh
Bleh
I'm over it, bleh
Yeah, I'm bad at being good, and now I'm over it
I tried, I tried to get my head right
But what am I supposed to do with all this free time now?
Got a feeling that I just might spiral down
Gonna call up all my exes
We can all meet up somewhere for breakfast, wow
Talk about how good or bad the sex is
Make 'em tell me I'm the bestest
I'm in my good girl era, but I still feel bad
I'ma kill this bitch to get the chaos back
So give me pleasure, give me pain and give it to me fast
Because I'm over it
I'm in my good girl era, but it don't feel right
'Cause I'm losing my edge, and I'm losing my bite
Give me sex, give me fights, give me every single vice
'Cause I'm bad at being good, and now I'm over it
In these lyrics, UPSAHL is expressing her dissatisfaction with the seemingly perfect and disciplined lifestyle she has been living. She starts by stating that she is tired of the healthy habits like drinking green juice and doing pilates, as well as taking vitamins to maintain a pain-free existence. Despite living a typical day without any physical discomfort, she feels bored and unfulfilled.
She then reminisces about the adrenaline rush and excitement she used to experience from indulging in reckless behavior and living on the edge. However, she admits that over time, she has started to forget what it feels like. In an attempt to reconnect with that chaotic and thrilling mindset, she decides to let loose and "burn it down" tonight, possibly implying engaging in risky behavior or making impulsive decisions.
The chorus reveals that UPSAHL is currently in her "good girl era," where she portrays herself as virtuous and well-behaved. Although she strives to be good, she still feels bad inside. She expresses her desire to break free from this perfect image by metaphorically wanting to "kill this bitch" and reintroduce chaos into her life. She craves pleasure and pain, and she wants it quickly because she is no longer content with being good.
In the second verse, UPSAHL describes herself as someone with a halo over her head, symbolizing purity and innocence. She wears all white, representing a clean and virtuous exterior. She claims to be emotionally available and free from depression, suggesting that she has worked on her mental well-being. The lyrics also imply that she has moved on from casual sexual encounters and ignored the advances of "bad boys." Instead, she has refocused her attention and finds stirring up drama no longer fulfilling.
The chorus is repeated, emphasizing UPSAHL's longing to break away from her current image and regain the excitement she felt before. She acknowledges that being good doesn't feel right anymore because she is losing her edge and appetite for life. She seeks experiences that involve sex, fights, and indulging in various vices as a means to rediscovering her true self. UPSAHL asserts that she is bad at being good and declares her decision to move on from that phase.

I'm sick of green juice, I hate pilates
I've grown tired of trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle, like drinking green juice and doing pilates
Put all the vitamins into my body
I want to fill myself with substances that give me a certain high or energy
Just a typical day, feeling void of any pain
My life has become mundane and predictable, lacking any excitement or challenges
And now I'm bored (I'm bored)
I have become uninterested and uninspired by my current circumstances
I suddenly I'm missing the high
I'm starting to crave the exhilaration and rush I used to feel
Of running off fumes on a venomous vibe
The thrill of living on the edge and indulging in dangerous behavior
I'm starting to forget what it's like
I'm slowly losing touch with the experiences and sensations I once enjoyed
So I'm burning it down tonight
To recapture that feeling, I'm going to engage in destructive behavior
I'm in my good girl era, but I still feel bad
Although I'm trying to be well-behaved, I still crave excitement and chaos
I'ma kill this bitch to get the chaos back
I'm willing to destroy the version of myself that conforms to societal expectations in order to regain a sense of chaos and rebellion
So give me pleasure, give me pain and give it to me fast
I desire intense experiences, both pleasurable and painful, and I want them immediately
Because I'm bad at being good, and now I'm over it
I'm realizing that trying to be well-behaved is not my strong suit, and I'm done pretending
Got a halo over my head
I am perceived as innocent or virtuous by others
Wearing all white, no red
My appearance is pure and untainted
I'm emotionally available
I am open to emotional connections and relationships
And I don't feel depressed
I am currently not experiencing feelings of sadness or unhappiness
No more randoms up in my bed
I have stopped engaging in casual sexual encounters
Left the bad boys on read
I have ignored messages from the rebellious and troublesome guys
Turns out stirring the pot isn't a hobby
I have realized that causing drama and conflict is not something I enjoy or pursue
I guess
This is my conclusion or realization
I tried, I tried to get my head right
I made efforts to improve my mindset and mental state
But what am I supposed to do with all this free time now?
Now that I'm no longer occupied with being a 'good girl', I'm unsure how to spend my spare time
Got a feeling that I just might spiral down
I have a sense that I might descend into a negative or chaotic path
Gonna call up all my exes
I plan to reach out to my former romantic partners
We can all meet up somewhere for breakfast, wow
We can gather together in the morning to catch up and possibly engage in intimate activities
Talk about how good or bad the sex is
We will discuss and evaluate the quality of our past sexual encounters
Make 'em tell me I'm the bestest
I want them to compliment and praise me, reaffirming my self-worth
I'm in my good girl era, but it don't feel right
Although I'm attempting to conform to expectations, it doesn't feel authentic or satisfying
'Cause I'm losing my edge, and I'm losing my bite
I'm becoming less sharp and less assertive in my behavior and attitude
Give me sex, give me fights, give me every single vice
I desire passionate physical encounters, conflicts, and unrestricted indulgence in various vices
'Cause I'm bad at being good, and now I'm over it
I have come to the realization that conforming to societal expectations is not my strength, and I no longer want to pretend otherwise
