"Ur So F*cking Cool" takes a satirical jab at current day internet culture and the superficiality of influencers. Tones and I once again comes out as a crusader for all things Gen X, making a plea for something real in today's plastic world. 

The music video sees Tones and I in disguise playing the roles of a beauty influencer, a high flyer, an astrologer - you name a facet of the internet today, and she's covered it. Starting the song with some bold lines, she sings "Everybody's talking 'bout sex/ Everybody's talking 'bout X//Like no one wants to find a genuine connect".

As the scene in the music video shifts to a party, we see an out of place Tones and I, talking about the loneliness created by the hyper connectivity of social media today. She sings: "Walk into a party/ Feeling out of place// Everyone's too cool, everyone's too fake// Try to start a conversation, but I can't seem to relate". 

"Ur So F*cking Cool" by Tones and I marks her first release after the two-track EP that featured "Bad Child" and "Never Seen the Rain" a few months ago. As she continues to ride the wave of success from her track "Dance Monkey", this song offers a hook entirely different from her previous releases - something we longed for.
