Early life and education

Lizzy McAlpine grew up in Narberth, Pennsylvania, in the suburbs of Philadelphia.[1][2] She has written music since she was in 6th grade.[3] She attended Lower Merion High School, where she sang in a co-ed a cappella group and did theater.[4]

McAlpine's father passed away in mid-March 2020.[8] She wrote the song "Headstones and Land Mines" about him on her first album, Give Me A Minute, and dedicated the song "chemtrails" to him on her second album, Five Seconds Flat.[9][10]

In 2018, McAlpine released her debut EP, Indigo.[11] She studied in Spain in the fall of 2019, where she wrote her debut studio album, Give Me a Minute.[11] The album was released in August 2020, to critical acclaim.[12][13] The album has been streamed millions of times on Spotify and other digital service providers.[14][15] The Dallas Observer named it one of the best albums of 2020,[16] and BBC Media Centre has called her an "up-and-coming vocalist".[17] In April 2021, McAlpine released an 8-song EP, When the World Stopped Moving: The Live EP.[18] She made her late-night debut on November 22, 2021, performing "Erase Me" on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[19]

McAlpine has garnered supporters from TikTok and Instagram, with several publications calling her a "TikTok star".[20][21][22] Her unreleased song "You Ruined the 1975", posted in June 2020, has over 8 million views on TikTok as of April 2021.[23]
