If she isn't already, Mimi Webb's on the cusp of becoming the UK's new Main Pop Girl. All the makings of a proper, bona fide super star are there. Viral TikTok hit? Check. Celebrity fans including actual Charli D'Amelio? Yep. Huge, Cirkut-produced hit song? You bet.
So, as House On Fire looks set to become Mimi's highest-charting UK single to date, we caught up with her backstage in Newcastle (via own our sofa and the wonders of technology) to talk everything from tour life to Lewis Capaldi's words of wisdom.
"It's so amazing, I'm absolutely loving it. I'm very tired, but we're smashing through it. After this tour, I have five days off before going on the Tate McRae tour in America. It's so exciting."
"Oh my God, that would be insane. I'd love that, it'd be incredible. I love her and we get on so well. We're going to be on tour together for a while, out in America. Fingers crossed."
"It's crazy seeing the response to this song. The fans absolutely love it. After coming out with the last EP [Seven Shades of Heartbreak], it was all very much about my heartbreak and things that I'd been through.
"I wanted this song to be closure to that chapter; a fun, tongue-in-cheek track. I'm just going for it and having a laugh. It's such a cool song to start the year with."
"Haha, hopefully I've warned them all off. Sorry, a songwriter's gotta do what a songwriter's gotta do.
"Obviously the song's from the perspective of a character - a very dramatised version of a story. The best revenge on an ex is just to do you, showing them you're good and making yourself a better version of yourself."
"Lewis came to my Scala London show last year, and that was so much fun. When they told me Lewis was there, I was like 'oh my God, that's crazy!'
