Punk Head: This was your very first time recording in a studio. What surprised you most about stepping into that world?
Mmesoma(Lil2k50): Honestly, what surprised me most was how different it feels from recording at home. The studio has this atmosphere where every sound matters — every breath, every pause. I didn’t expect the mic to catch so much emotion. And hearing my own voice played back through proper monitors was crazy… it felt bigger, rawer. I also didn’t realize how much the engineer shapes the vibe. The way they guide you, tweak things, make you try takes in new ways — it opened my eyes to how much of a collaboration music really is. It made the whole thing feel real, like, ‘Yeah… this is where I’m meant to be.
Punk Head: You aimed to write something both relatable and relaxing. Do you usually write from calm reflection, or in the heat of the moment?
Mmesoma (Lil2k50): It depends, but most of the time I write in the heat of the moment. That’s when the emotions are raw, and I don’t overthink the words — they just spill out. But later, when I’m calm, I go back and shape everything so it feels relatable and easy to sink into. So the spark comes from intensity, but the final sound comes from reflection. That balance is what makes the music feel both real and relaxing.
Punk Head: That opening lyric - “a hundred things…” feels like a rush of thoughts all hitting at once. Was that stream-of-consciousness writing or a line you’d been carrying for a while?
Mmesoma (Lil2k50): That line was pure stream-of-consciousness. It really did feel like a hundred thoughts hitting me all at once, and instead of trying to organise them, I just wrote exactly how it felt. Sometimes the best lines are the ones you don’t plan — they just show up when your mind is crowded and your heart is loud. Later I refined it a bit, but the core of it came out in one go.
Punk Head: “My Heart” feels like the beginning of a story. What kind of chapter are you writing next as an artist?
Mmesoma (Lil2k50): My Heart’ definitely feels like the first chapter — like I’m opening the door to what I really want to say as an artist. The next chapter is me getting braver. I’m writing from a place that’s more honest, less filtered, and I’m not scared to show the darker sides of love or the pressure I put on myself. I want the new songs to feel bigger emotionally — more vulnerable but also more confident. It’s the chapter where I stop holding back and really define my sound.
Punk Head: When you imagine performing this song for the first time, what do you hope the room feels like?
Mmesoma (Lil2k50): I want the room to feel still but heavy — like everyone is holding their breath a little. Not sad, just connected. That kind of quiet where people aren’t talking or moving because the emotion hits them at the same time. I picture soft lighting, the crowd leaning in, and the song creating its own atmosphere. If the room feels honest and completely locked in with me, that’s the moment I’m hoping for.
