Hobert first took a journey into songwriting with her friend since 5th grade, Gracie Abrams, co-writing several songs on The Secret of Us, including the massive hit, “That’s So True.” With encouragement from her friend and the ears of the industry perked, Hobert set off on writing her own music, releasing her debut album, Who’s the Clown? in 2025.

"I actually haven't been writing songs very long. I would say writing with Gracie was my first time writing music," Audrey told us last year. "We did that pretty quickly, and like a lot of songs in a short amount of time. Then when we were done writing for her album, I didn't feel like I was done writing music."

Thankfully she kept going, penning the song, “Sue me,” a synthy, strutting, playful and unescapable track about her own experience. Hobert explains that "Sue me" it's about "having an ex-boyfriend and being at a party with him, and sort of knowing that you're over it, and he perhaps is not, and even though you know you might lead him on and hurt his feelings you're just gonna do it anyway."

Since then Hobert has gone on to play sold out shows, and sync with some of streaming’s biggest series, like Off Campus, which shot “Sue me” to a new stratosphere after being included in an episode.

For Audrey, it remains about the music, telling Bru last year that no matter how you feel about her, she thinks you’ll like what she created. “You might love my music. You might not like everything about me, but I think you'll like the music,” she smiled.

“It's funny because I think there are a few songs I've written that are like fictitious,” she adds. “‘Sue me’ totally happened. I have a tendency to sort of just write stories, that either happened to me or didn't. I guess that's writing.”
