Bathroom Floor
Jump to...
Sophie Powers provides a melancholic but danceable new single, ‘Bathroom Floor’, which is a deeply personal track. The song has pop fuzz and swimming bass tones, with great lyrical delivery.
The song definitely stands out, though it’s enough of a fit to fit neatly amongst other recent releases. When the song was announced on Insta, Sophie shared some background for the song:
This is one of the most personal songs I’ve ever written and I’m honestly both extremely nervous and extremely excited to put it out into the world…
Powers suffers from ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) and generalised anxiety disorder with panic attacks. The song was written during a difficult time and Powers highlighted the need to get help rather than try to cope alone:
If you’re still reading this right now- I want you to know its never too late to ask for help. While I’m much much better now, everyday is still a battle. If I hadn’t gotten help – I would’ve lost my battle long ago.
The song tells the story with raw lyrics that find poetry in pain. It feels almost inappropriate to say how great the pre-chorus is, but like the catchy chorus, there’s plenty to enjoy in the music and melody on top of the deeply personal story.

Bathroom Floor Lyrics
Oh my god no way!
Hey, I have a secret to tell I hate you
Hate you, yeah
I’ve been looking dead in the mirror right at you
At you, yeahThese dark clouds circle me I’m losing my grip now
On a deep dive I can’t pull myself out of this nowIt’s starts
With a beat in my heart
Then moves
And the lights go dark
I’m fine
But I’m falling apart
Too late too late too late too late now I’mOn the bathroom floor and I can’t feel shit
I just wanna be alone I don’t wanna deal with it
Don’t know what I want but I don’t want this
I just need validation, yeahOn my way back home as the sun creeps in
There’s a weight on my chest I feel haunted
Don’t know what I want but I don’t want this
I just need validation, yeahI wished that I wasn’t myself. It came true
Came true, yeah
This time
I’m feeling frozen inside and can’t move
Can’t move, yeahThese walls keep closing in
I’m losing my grip now
On a deep dive
I can’t pull myself out of this nowOn the bathroom floor and I can’t feel shit
I just wanna be alone I don’t wanna deal with it
Don’t know what I want but I don’t want this
I just need validation, yeahOn my way back home as the sun creeps in
There’s a weight on my chest I feel haunted
Don’t know what I want but I don’t want this
I just need validation, yeahGet this bass…
I just need validation, yeah
I just need validation, yeah!
