Lucinda Odette on the Dating Woes That Inspired Her Fiery New Track, ‘Get off’
Australian-born, L.A.-based artist Lucinda Odette has some very exciting things in store for us in the near future, and she's kicked things off in 2025 with the release of her playful and unpredictable single "Get off."
The track begins as a delicate piano ballad layered with Lucinda's soothing vocals. She sings of not giving a partner everything they demand in a relationship—and she doesn't regret it in the slightest. Soon, the sound brightens into a twinkly, playful celebration as she pulls out some strong language to get her point across in no uncertain terms, before it explodes again into an orchestral and anthemic conclusion, with the sounds matching her dwindling patience. We had the pleasure of speaking with Lucinda to find out more about the song and what we can anticipate from her next. Read the full interview below and listen HERE on Spotify
The Story Behind 'Get Off'
Lucinda Odette: All of my songs are based off of my real life experiences. For this song, Lee [Miles] and I were in the studio, and I was going off about how dating in L.A. is the worst, especially this one guy who was just too much. Lee joked, "It's like… get off my d—, bro!" and we completely lost it. Lee jumped up, ran to the piano, played something, and spun around yelling, "That's it!" I was like, "What's it?" and he goes, "Get off my d—!" The song basically wrote itself after that. We recorded it, Tony Maserati worked his magic, and just like that, "Get off" was born.
It's about someone who just doesn't get the hint. You know when someone needs constant attention, and you're like, please, I need air? It's like that.

What 'Get off' Means
LO: It's my way of saying back off but with a melody. Hopefully, it helps people set boundaries or at least scream along when they need to. Make sure you stand up for yourself even if at times you need to be a b****.

On the Structure of 'Get off'
LO: It starts nice, then gets annoyed, then goes full dramatic meltdown. Like patience running out in real time.

Lucinda's Favorite Lyric
LO: "Get off my d—, all this sappy s*** is making me sick." It's direct. No notes.
What's Next
LO: I've been working on a lot of new music with Lee Miles, and I'm so grateful for his guidance in shaping my sound. I've also been working with Laurieann Gibson, who's been incredible in helping me bring my vision to life. There are some exciting visuals and live performances in the works, and I just feel really lucky to be creating and growing with such an amazing team around me.
Final Thoughts
LO: Play it loud, and if someone's being too much… send them the link.
