“You Didn’t Text Me” by Estella Dawn

Estella Dawn just released her latest single, “You Didn’t Text me,” on November 14, 2025. It’s a deep cut with a range of influences to stand out as unique, powerful, and emotional.

“You Didn’t Text Me” is a vibrant blend of pop, rock, R&B, and rap, all filled with punchy grit. The verses of this track take on a blend of a rhythmic alto flow and other portions that hit higher tones with smooth transitions and great melody. The chorus has a more belted sound with a force of emotion behind it. Instrumentally, the drums work with some trap influence, the reverb in the piano is gorgeous, and the bass leads give a strong, forceful drive. Overall, this track is extremely dynamic section to section, and the emotion in the vocals plays along with the lyrical narrative well.

Lyrically, this track comes from the perspective of someone who was cheated on by their partner with that person’s ex. This partner then blames trying to end their own life for cheating, as if they were trying to have this final moment with a former lover. Part of the chorus goes, “And everybody that you saw got a goodbye / My God you wanted to die / And you didn’t text me.” Put together, this shows the pain that comes from someone using mental health as an excuse to hurt another, which is a form of manipulation. In this, “You Didn’t Text Me” builds a narrative that’s strikingly relatable to anyone who’s been through similar.
