Selfish Pursuits Turns Heartbreak into a Hit with the Sharp and Witty ‘Luke’

Updated: Nov 6

Selfish Pursuits' "Luke" is the kind of heartbreak-fueled anthem that doesn’t just stick in your head—it makes itself at home. Written as a melodic revenge tale, it channels that all-too-familiar sting of a love that was almost forever but left with a bitter aftertaste. Parker James, the powerhouse behind Selfish Pursuits, turns what could be a cliché into a sharp, clever tribute to a lost love with a Taylor Swift-level twist.



Parker’s mix of songwriting finesse, production mastery, and multi-instrumental prowess takes center stage in "Luke," transforming a moment of personal history into a piece of universally relatable art. There's a raw vulnerability here, wrapped in polished production—each note and lyric feels like it’s meant to hit exactly where it hurts (and where it heals). And with a creative output spanning hyperpop, hip-hop, folk, and AI collaborations, Selfish Pursuits is more than just a side project; it's a living, breathing testament to the endless possibilities of modern music.


Selfish Pursuits’ journey from Berklee-trained ghostwriter to an indie powerhouse with 300 million streams is impressive enough, but “Luke” feels like a coming-home moment for Parker—a reclaiming of personal story and sound. It’s a little petty, a little poignant, and 100% unforgettable.
