The official “When We’re Sober” music video, now on YouTube, enhances the experience with stunning visuals. Want me to break away from the fancy words and give my takeaway? I listen to the lyrics and take this song as a message to guys that the late night drunk texts or calls for a short notice get together is not an option. No booty calls buddy! Show her it’s real by hitting her up when you’re sober and have your wits about you. Think my interpretation is crazy? Check out the lyrics… (not yet verified)

If you love me, love me when the party’s over…
When we’re sober. When we’re sober…
If this for real, we’ll talk for real. We’ll be closer…
When we’re not hung over. When we’re sober…

This release isn’t just a new song—it’s a milestone for Erika Tham. Her earlier hits like “Admit It” explored unrequited love, while “Shhh” brought ‘90s pop energy to call out mansplainers. This 2025 release builds on that legacy, offering a mature, bold sound.
