“Whatcha Doing” by Sofia Gobbi: A Catchy, Cathartic Journey Through the Thrills of New Love

If there’s one thing Sofia Gobbi knows how to do, it’s capture the messy, hilarious, and sometimes slightly ridiculous feeling of being in the early stages of a relationship. Her latest single, “Whatcha Doing,” is the perfect soundtrack for those moments when you’re trying (and failing) to play it cool while secretly planning your wedding in your head. Think of it as your personal anthem for every time you’re texting someone new and you’re a little too excited to hide it.

A Little Bit of Sass, A Lot of Truth

“Whatcha Doing” is a joyfully chaotic indie-rock banger, blending catchy melodies with sharp, witty lyrics. It’s raunchy in the best possible way, tapping into the excitement and the thrill of trying to keep it together when you’re clearly already a goner. As Sofia herself puts it, the song is about “trying to play it cool and be super chill about it all, but the truth is that you have no chill—you never have—and are already picturing what your potential wedding might look like.” If you’ve ever found yourself trying to act nonchalant while your mind races ahead, this one’s for you.

It’s a perfect mix of relatable angst and a carefree, rocking energy that just won’t quit. Sofia brings her signature British sarcasm to the track, reminding us all that sometimes love is awkward, over-the-top, and just a bit hilarious. But isn’t that the fun of it?

The Sound of a Star in the Making

Sofia’s been making waves since her debut single, “Ten,” dropped in 2022, with her ability to craft hook-filled melodies and emotionally honest lyrics. Born to an Italian father and a Californian mother, her upbringing gives her music a unique twist, blending different cultural influences into her songwriting. And with “Whatcha Doing,” she’s only deepened her voice in the alt-pop/rock scene.

The track is infectious and cathartic, capturing the energy of someone who’s full of anticipation, yet also aware of how ridiculous it all feels. It’s the kind of song you play when you’re caught between hoping it works out, and maybe getting a little too far ahead of yourself. But don’t worry—Sofia’s got you. She’s been there, and she’s written the perfect song to laugh it off with.

What's Next for Sofia?

“Whatcha Doing” is just a taste of what’s to come from Sofia’s highly anticipated debut album, set for release in Summer 2025.

Her music is her way of creating that sense of comfort, a reminder that we’re not alone in our experiences. And honestly, after listening to “Whatcha Doing,” it’s hard not to feel like Sofia is speaking directly to you, like she’s wrapping you in a comforting blanket of shared experiences and laughter.
