British artist and songwriter Mimi Webb is making waves once again with her latest single, “One Eye Open.” The pulsating new track, penned by Mimi alongside Nick Hahn, Phia, and the legendary Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, signals a pivotal moment in her evolving career. Produced by Hahn, known for his work with ZAYN and Sigrid, the song pairs Webb’s signature emotive vocals with a mesmerizing yet understated production. The accompanying music video, directed by Claire Arnold and shot in Paris, offers a captivating visual experience that complements the song’s introspective theme.
Speaking about “One Eye Open,” Mimi Webb explains that the song represents her journey into self-love and independence. “This song represents the transition into my independent, self-love era and serves as a reminder to look after my own happiness above anything else. It came from learning from my past mistakes and from getting hurt, so I wrote it as a warning to protect myself and always keep one eye open,” she shared. The song’s lyrics reflect this growth, drawing on personal experiences while offering a universal message of empowerment and resilience.
“One Eye Open” follows two of Mimi’s previous summer hits, “Erase You” and “Mistake,” both of which received widespread critical acclaim. “Erase You” was hailed by Euphoria Magazine as a track that “will have you moving on from a bad relationship in the best way.” “Mistake,” meanwhile, was described by Billboard as “starting out gesturing towards balladry before widening its stance into electro-dance territory.” These tracks helped cement Mimi Webb as a pop artist to watch, with Cosmopolitan calling her “definitely one to watch.” Both songs were co-written and produced by multiple GRAMMY® Award-winning Ryan Tedder, who has worked with artists such as Adele, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift.
This latest release comes on the heels of an incredibly successful summer for Webb, during which she performed at some of the biggest music festivals in the world. She delivered electrifying sets at Governors Ball in New York City, Osheaga in Montreal, Lollapalooza in Chicago, and Outside Lands in San Francisco.
In addition to her festival appearances, Mimi joined The Jonas Brothers on the UK and European leg of their FIVE ALBUMS: ONE NIGHT tour, performing to massive crowds in packed arenas. Highlights included two sold-out nights at London’s iconic O2 Arena. Mimi also concluded her largest North American tour to date, performing alongside Benson Boone.
With “One Eye Open,” Mimi Webb continues to prove that she is a force to be reckoned with in the pop music world. Her dynamic sound, emotional depth, and growing list of accolades are propelling her toward even greater heights, and fans eagerly await what comes next in her ever-evolving journey.
