Hey music fans, picture this: you’re hanging out with someone, but their face is buried in their screen while life passes by. Sound familiar? Norwegian-American rising star Hanna Andréa just turned that exact frustration into an absolute banger with her new single “Get Off Your Phone.”
Out April 24th as the lead track from her upcoming EP Braveheart, this song hits different. It’s energetic alt-pop with clear early 2000s pop-punk DNA—think muted guitars that crunch just right, raw garage-style production that feels alive, and those big belting vocals that demand you pay attention. If you grew up on Avril Lavigne and now vibe with Olivia Rodrigo’s honest edge, this one slots right into your rotation.
From the very first lines—“Today I saw a shooting star / Not far from where you are / And all the places we used to go”—you feel the nostalgia. Hanna isn’t just calling out doom-scrolling; she’s painting the emotional cost of it. That spoken-word refrain “’Cause you’re on your phone” lands like a playful yet pointed nudge. You laugh, but you also feel seen. It’s the kind of social commentary that sticks because it comes from real experience. Hanna has shared how she got social media later than her friends and often sat awkwardly while everyone else scrolled. That personal spark makes the track feel authentic instead of preachy.
Musically, “Get Off Your Phone” blends melodic pop instincts with flashes of late ‘90s and early 2000s rock energy. The restless guitar drive gives it that carefree, Americana-tinged lift while still sounding fresh in 2025. Production stays raw enough to feel garage-born but polished where it counts—exactly what you want in indie pop that crosses over. It’s the perfect introduction to Braveheart, an EP that already teases more genre-blending goodness like synth-pop/trap vibes on “Pinnacles” and cinematic piano on the title track.
At just 17 (born 2007), Hanna Andréa brings serious depth. Raised bilingual and bicultural between the Arctic landscapes of Narvik, Norway, and the American West, she carries influences from both worlds. As a citizen of the Muscogee Nation, she weaves grounded authenticity into her storytelling. Her background in theater—writing songs for the pop-infused musical Muse! The Shakespeare Mayhem, heading to Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2026—shows in how cinematic and character-driven her work feels. This isn’t throwaway pop; it’s immersive.
Since her 2024 debut “Starlight,” Hanna has proven she builds complete artistic worlds. Her debut LP Stranded In The Middle, created at 16, even got a Northern Norwegian classical ensemble to arrange strings for the launch show. That level of vision is rare. “Get Off Your Phone” continues the pattern: a thoughtful, hook-filled anthem that makes you want to put the device down and actually live.
In a music world flooded with content, tracks that combine nostalgia, sharp lyrics, and genuine energy stand out. Hanna Andréa is doing exactly that. She’s carving space as an emerging voice who balances experimental touches with emotional accessibility—qualities that make her music resonate across generations.
If you’re tired of songs that feel surface-level, press play on “Get Off Your Phone.” Let the guitars pull you in and the message land. Then do what the chorus says—look up from your screen and reconnect with the real world for a minute. You might just catch your own shooting star.
