myah Finds Beauty in Emotional Whiplash on Haunting New Single “dodging bullets”

South Florida indie alt-pop artist myah has always walked the line between vulnerability and vision, and her new single “dodging bullets” is a masterclass in both. The track is the final chapter of her upcoming debut album i don’t know what i’m feeling, and it doesn’t just conclude the project. It rips open its core one last time before letting the light in.

Born from the wreckage of a one-sided breakup, “dodging bullets” wrestles with the hollow comfort of cliché advice. You know the line: “You dodged a bullet.” But for myah, the phrase felt less like protection and more like residue. “Even if you do dodge a bullet, you’re still left shaken and maybe even grazed,” she explains, and that imagery bleeds through every lyric.

Backed by Midwest emo guitar lines and haunting alt-pop textures, the track crescendos into a soundscape that feels both intimate and cinematic. Think of early 2000s heartache with a 2025 clarity. Fans of Foxing, Modest Mouse, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs will feel right at home, but myah makes the genre her own with sharp storytelling and a breathless sense of honesty.

The accompanying self-directed music video, more short film than visualizer, grounds the emotional turbulence in myah’s signature aesthetic: soft, raw, and achingly romantic. The video and single mark the first of a final rollout before the album officially drops in August.

At its heart, “dodging bullets” is about honoring the messy middle, the grey space between heartbreak and healing. And if you’ve ever felt guilty for grieving what you knew wasn’t good for you, this one’s for you. It’s okay if healing feels like limping away from something that almost killed you.
