There’s something cathartic about a breakup song that doesn’t beg or whisper. It roars. And in “NEON LOVE,” HAAS doesn’t just walk away—she flips the switch, lights the whole thing in electric pink, and doesn’t look back.
From the first second, this track crackles. No slow build, no tiptoe intros—it kicks the door open with high-voltage energy and zero apologies. HAAS brings that slick, neon-drenched pop power she’s known for, but this time, it’s laced with venom—and a whole lot of freedom.
This isn’t a song about heartbreak. It’s about finally being done. Done with games. Done with pretending. Done with that one person who somehow made love feel like a chore and chaos at the same time.
The vibe? Pure liberation in a leather jacket.
And then Abstract jumps in, bringing that exact level of grit the song needed. His verse slices through the glitter with just enough rawness to keep the pulse of the track grounded. When he delivers that line (you’ll know the one), it doesn’t feel like shock value—it feels earned. It’s the kind of drop that makes you smirk and say, “Yeah... been there".
But let’s be clear—this isn’t just about being angry. NEON LOVE is beautifully produced, full of pulse and melody, and HAAS’ voice rides the line between fierce and vulnerable so perfectly. Underneath the “don’t text me again” attitude is a real story—one of finally choosing yourself after spending way too long trying to fix something that was never yours to fix.
HAAS has always been about truth. From playing covers in her Virginia basement to building an inclusive space through her music in Nashville, she’s never faked the story. That authenticity bleeds through every line here. NEON LOVE might be a middle finger—but it’s also a mirror, a moment of clarity, and an invitation to finally let go.
If you’ve ever loved someone a little too long, let this be your anthem. Turn it up. Sing it loud. Leave the light on—they’ll see what they lost.
