The artist embraces failure on explosive new single

Shawn Mathews returns with “spill my cup” — a genre-bending plunge into self-reflection, emotional accountability, and the chaos of ambition. Rooted in the glitchy urgency of hyperpop and the raw honesty of alternative pop, the track finds Mathews toeing the line between breaking down and breaking through.

Built around a deceptively simple hook, “I make mistakes / I spill my cup”, the song wrestles with the weight of personal failure and the desire to be better for the people who believe in you. However, rather than wallowing, Mathews owns his imperfections and failures, crafting a narrative that’s as cathartic as it is relatable.

Laced with distorted guitar textures, punchy drums, and Mathews' signature melodic sensibility, fans of Aries, ericdoa, Jean Dawson or bixby will feel right at home in “spill my cup”’s sonic soundscape.

With this release, Shawn Mathews continues to carve a lane for himself in the alt-pop space, merging genre experimentation with unfiltered vulnerability.
