In “Business As Usual,” Eliza Rose and producer MJ Cole spin a track that’s all about keeping your head high and moving forward, no matter what love throws your way. The lyrics, “You might be gone, ain’t picking up the phone/Did you really think I was waiting at home?/ It’s business as usual,” are a strong nudge, reminding us that life doesn’t pause for heartbreak. It’s like Eliza’s telling us, straight up, that she’s got her own life to live, her own goals to chase, and isn’t about to wait around for someone who doesn’t see her worth.
Eliza’s voice, with its quirky melange of sugar sweetness wrapped in eye-rolling sass, carries the song’s message stylishly—it’s almost like she’s on the other end of the line, words flowing honest and straight, no sugarcoating. The song has two takes—the “9-5 mix” serves up soulful grooves for those relaxed moments in you little hideaway, while the “night shift mix” turns up the energy, perfect for those endorphin-pumpin’ playlists when you need to work out to work some shit out. Whether you’re about that laidback life or live for the beat drops, there’s definitely something here for you.
Jeanie Crystal’s direction in the video brings all this to life in psychedelic color, spilling out Eliza’s flamboyant presence—part pop star, part power woman navigating the cityscape. This clip is a party for the eyes that doubles the tune’s feel and marshals us into Eliza’s world – a place where she alone runs the show.
“Business As Usual” gives shape to a mindset, with Eliza Rose and MJ Cole cueing up a musical reminder to hold fast through letdowns and closed doors – because we all know that one fuckboi don’t stop no show
