B-Side Guys

Sophie Perez dissolves two years of bad decisions into three syllables repeated until they become mantra. “Funfunfun” operates as both victory lap and exorcism—the moment when someone finally stops explaining themselves to people who never deserved explanations in the first place.

The track’s genius lies in its refusal to dress up empowerment in prettier language. Instead of grand statements about self-worth, Perez delivers brutal efficiency: “I don’t need you anymore.” Period. End of conversation. Her indie-rock grit provides perfect vehicle for this kind of emotional housecleaning, where the goal isn’t healing but simply clearing out the garbage.

Her approach to vocal delivery mirrors the lyrical content—direct, unadorned, designed for maximum impact rather than artistic flourish. When she repeats “come undone” against “it’s just fun,” the juxtaposition creates fascinating tension between destruction and pleasure. Some people’s breakdown becomes your breakthrough, and Perez documents this reversal without guilt or apology.

The song’s repetitive structure functions like meditation technique for people who don’t have time for meditation. Rather than processing complex emotions about toxic relationships, she reduces the entire experience to its essential components: they’re gone, you’re free, now what? The answer, apparently, is to have fun with your newfound independence.

“Funfunfun” works because Perez understands that sometimes the most radical response to mistreatment isn’t anger or sadness—it’s indifference paired with joy. Her transformation of heartbreak into power feels less like therapy and more like strategic forgetting, the kind that happens when you finally realize someone else’s opinion of you was never your responsibility to manage.
