OSTON declares, “To all the mansplainers and big complainers, I think u should leave”.

“The moral of the story for this guy is – and always will be – sorry dude, just don’t be a dick :).” – OSTON
We’ve all had an experience with that one guy who thinks he’s all that. The guy who gets a kick out of bringing people down. The guy who thinks the world revolves around him. OSTON puts her foot down and calls this person out in her second 2021 single, “I Think You Should Leave.”
This song is, in a word, anthemic. Strong, reverberant bass and synth parts resonate deep within the listener, empowering both OSTON and the listener in a fortifying stance. These two components also provide a solid foundation for the singer’s powerful vocals. The track is further driven by a fresh percussion line, tying things together in a crisp fashion. She tops everything off with perfectly layered harmonies, creating a sound that truly engulfs the listener.
“I Think You Should Leave” was born out of a session between OSTON and her long-time collaborator Drew Polovick, in which they laughed about how great it would feel to call out the people who think they’re the sole star of the show. On her Instagram announcement of the song, she addresses it “to all the mansplainers and big complainers.” The singer leaves no room for sugarcoating, with lyrics such as “you get a kick out of being such an ass” and “keep acting a fool like that, you’re gonna be super lonely.”
