Em's newest song "Numb Little Bug" came out earlier this year. And of course, we have to know... where did that name come from?
"I had a song called Groundhog going viral," Em starts. "I was talking to my mom. 'Everything's happening, but I'm not happy and I don't know why.'"
Her mother's reaction: "That's ungrateful." đź’€

Em shared a snippet of the song on TikTok with the caption, "I feel like a numb little bug lately," and her fans fell in love.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Em is a vocal mental health advocate. Her sudden popularity was a shock, and she openly talks about how she processes her newfound fame.

Her EP "Egg In The Basket" comes out in July.
"It was a lyric I came up with in a session."
"Eggs are silly... you can't take them seriously."
