She Is Jules Breaks the Cycle with Copy Paste: A Hyperpop Anthem of Generational Reflection
She Is Jules‘s latest hyperpop offering Copy Paste grabs from the get-go.
Born from a post-therapy revelation, the song explores the unsettling realisation that we’re becoming our parents – for better or worse.
Jules’s distinctive vocals cut through a carefully crafted soundscape that feels both refreshing and oddly familiar.
The production strikes a delicate balance. There’s an upbeat, almost playful electronic backdrop that could easily overpower a less confident artist, but Jules’s voice remains the undeniable focal point.
It’s in this contrast that the song finds its strength – the almost bubbly instrumental encapsulates the weight of the lyrics about generational patterns and inherited traits.
Copy Paste tackles heavier themes without feeling heavy-handed. The track navigates the complexities of growing up and grappling with generational trauma while remaining distinctly danceable.
As the song unfolds, layers of nostalgia weave through the hyperpop elements, creating moments of unexpected emotional resonance.
Jules and her co-writers have managed to capture that jarring moment of self-awareness – when you catch yourself mimicking the very behaviours you once criticised in your parents – and turned it into something that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable.
Copy Paste is the ideal song for dancing alone in your room while having an existential crisis, contemplating your own family dynamics.
Either way, Copy Paste is a fun multi-layered song to add to your playlist.
