Amity Hayze brings a punchy, early-2000s alt-rock vibe to her release “Drunk on Expectations”, capturing the rush of frustration and clarity that comes with realizing you’ve been living under everyone else’s expectations. The guitars hit with a raw energy that instantly sets the pace, and her voice cuts through with a confident edge that suits the story she is telling.
The song taps into the feeling of questioning your choices while trying to figure out whether you’re falling behind or simply ready to break away. That tension gives the track a spark that keeps it moving, pairing emotional honesty with a catchy rhythm that stays in your head long after the final line. Amity’s delivery keeps everything grounded, bringing out the heart of the message without ever forcing it.
From my perspective, the moments where she pushes hardest against the pressure around her are the highlights of the track. Those sections bring out the most powerful bits of her performance. I also love how she keeps the pacing brisk while still giving the lyrics room to breathe.
By the time the last chorus hits, “Drunk on Expectations” comes across as a confident step forward for Amity. It has a clear sense of identity, and you can hear the care that went into crafting its sound and message. The emotional punch, the tight production, and her DIY spirit work together to create something that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly direct.
