She\u2019d made the project with MikeMillzOn\u2019Em, who had opened up his studio for her for free. She got a few playlist placements through cold emails and sheer willpower, but remained \u201cin this weird limbo\u201d. Moliy even flew to Orlando, Florida, in pursuit of a business degree and the American Dream, holding down a nine-to-five in Victoria\u2019s Secret. But music was the only thing she \u201cwouldn\u2019t want to give up on\u201d: \u201cLike, if I died today, what am I going to be known for?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The viral hit \u2018Sad Girlz Luv Money\u2019 was born from that exact mix of persistence and audacity. Moliy had been sliding into <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/artists\/amaarae\">Amaarae<\/a>\u2019s DMs for months because she loved what she was doing and could already hear how their voices might work together, so it was cosmic when <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/the-cover\/amaarae-10-06-2024-3763962\">the former <em>NME Cover<\/em> star<\/a> finally sent over two beats for Moliy to write to. The night before their session, Moliy argued with her older sister, who was supporting her financially, and carried that frustration straight into the song. \u201cI was so pissed,\u201d she laughs, recalling her feelings then: \u201c\u2018Bitch, I\u2019m going to get money too. I\u2019m going to be good too. This is just a temporary situation.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was just tired of being dependent on my older siblings, and I wanted to be able to take care of myself, so it was like a manifestation song for me,\u201d she continues. And in her bones, she knew it was \u201cgoing to change her life\u201d. \u2018Sad Girlz Luv Money\u2019 went global in 2021, powered by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/brands\/tiktok\">TikTok<\/a> and the kind of chorus that proved impossible to ignore, but the success wasn\u2019t straightforward. \u201cAs much as something can be blowing up online, my personal life at that point was kind of shitty,\u201d she says plainly. \u201cI was broke. I wasn\u2019t getting booked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/the-cover\/the-cover-moliy-interview-3944822\">Read Moliy\u2019s full <em>Cover<\/em> story here<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/the-cover\">find out who else has been on <i>The Cover<\/i> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Every year, <em>NME<\/em> produces 50 <em>Cover<\/em> stories, showcasing the future of music via in-depth profiles and exclusive photoshoots.
