Meg Donnelly isn’t holding back. With her latest single, “close 2 me,” the multi-hyphenate artist embraces the chaos of being young, infatuated, and maybe a little too attached. But instead of brooding, she spins it into a shimmering, genre-blurring pop track, co-written and produced by Jon Bellion.
Bellion’s influence is unmistakable—the track pulses with layered textures, early hip-hop nods, and Y2K-inspired production, all wrapped around Donnelly’s effortlessly smooth vocals. It’s playful, infectious, and undeniably confident, proving once again that Meg is fully stepping into her artistry. “I think this song is a genre-less, fun, earworm song that everyone can dance to,” she says, and she’s absolutely right.
This release marks another teaser for her upcoming project, dying art, which comes with a creative twist. Through a series of audition tapes and confessionals, Meg playfully critiques the industry’s evolution, blending satire with the reality of chasing a dream in modern entertainment. If “close 2 me” is any indication, dying art won’t just be an album—it’ll be a statement.
From her breakout role in Zombies to her growing music career, Meg Donnelly has always been a performer first. Now, she’s proving that her artistic evolution is just getting started. With a blend of nostalgia, self-awareness, and undeniable pop instincts, “close 2 me” cements her as an artist to watch in 2025.
