Kerrigan Barry isn’t here to play nice – and with her latest single OBITCHUARY, she doesn’t have to. Out now on all streaming platforms, the track is a witty, fierce pop-rock anthem that takes 2000s nostalgia and cranks it up with 2025-sized confidence.
If Avril Lavigne were making her debut today, it would probably sound something like this: sassy, unapologetic, and ridiculously catchy. Barry doesn’t just lean into the pop-punk spirit — she reclaims it, pushing it into fresh, modern territory.
Lines like “My toxic trait is I start fights / so I can call your bluff / ‘cause when we hit rock bottom / only place for it to go is up” set the tone: sharp, tongue-in-cheek, and completely self-aware. Then comes the knockout blow: “I’d eat a man alive / before I’d ever meet his mother / couldn’t get in to heaven / even if the devil dared me / bet they’ll say I’m a bitch / when they read my obitchuary.”
It’s the kind of chorus that feels made to be shouted back in sweaty clubs, and Kerrigan delivers it with full-throttle conviction. Defiance turns into power; vulnerability becomes pure adrenaline.
Produced with punchy, high-energy flair, OBITCHUARY blends slick hooks with guitar-driven grit, landing somewhere between nostalgia and a bold new wave of pop-rock. It’s a track that shows Barry isn’t just chasing trends — she’s carving out her own lane, one fearless lyric at a time.
