Judy Blank’s Toy Heart Turns Half-Love into a Dreamy Indie Snapshot

Judy Blank’s Toy Heart captures that hazy space between almost-relationships and day-to-day affection with a sound as sugarcoated as the feelings are conflicted.

Released via Rounder Records, the track pairs glitter-dipped surf-pop guitar licks with synth shimmer and deadpan vocals that feel more confessional than performative.

“I know that you keep me small, but right now you can have it, have it all / My couch / My car / I just want your toy heart,” Blank sings, barely above a sigh.

It’s the kind of lyric that admits everything while pretending it’s no big deal. Her delivery is light, but the sentiment isn’t.

The song cycles through scenes of shared boredom, old anime box sets, and domestic fantasy:

“Waking up in the kitchen / No plans, wet hands on the countertop.” It’s love by way of cohabitation cosplay, where real feelings hide behind casual offers and unspoken compromise.

The production is breezy but not throwaway, allowing Blank’s lyrical wit and melodic instinct to stay centre stage.

The accompanying music video—filmed in Xalapa, Mexico—is dipped in bubblegum pink and retro textures, echoing the song’s bittersweet tone with surreal visuals that play like a sun-faded scrapbook.

Together, they wrap a quiet ache in something deceptively sweet.

Judy Blank Toy Heart Lyrics

Waking up in the kitchen
No plans, wet hands on the countertop
Stacking up the dishes
This day is sweet like a cough drop

What do you wanna do?
We got all the time
If you don’t have a clue
You can live in my room

I just wanna play house
With you
Kill time back at mine
While we figure out our
Issues
It’s fine, i don’t mind
I’ll keep it inside
I know that you keep me small, but
Right now you can have it, have it all
My couch
My car
I just want your toy heart

We could take a trip to disney
We could go see a show from the cheap seats
But you wouldn’t wanna kiss me, plus
I got dragonball z on dvd 🙂

We could try something new
Any day you like
Do u wanna know the truth?
I don’t know if i do

Waking up in the kitchen
No plans, wet hands on the countertop
Is there something that i’m missing? nah
This day is sweet like a cough drop

What do you wanna do?
We got all the time
If you don’t have a room
You can live in mine

I just wanna play house
With you
Kill time back at mine
While we figure out our
Issues
It’s fine, i don’t mind
Whatever you like
I know that you keep me small, but
Right now you can have it, have it all
Could be
A start
I just want your toy heart
I just want your toy heart
Toy heart
