midwxst taps back into his emotional side on “hostile,” a new single that dives deep into the confusion and loneliness that come with growing up and growing apart. The rising artist from Indiana brings raw feeling to every lyric, asking tough questions about trust and connection. Known for his genre-blending style, midwxst leans into the same alt-rap and hyperpop sound that shaped his debut album E3, but this time with a darker, more vulnerable tone.
“hostile” captures a specific kind of pain—one that comes from feeling betrayed or pushed away by people you thought cared. It’s a quiet kind of hurt, the type that sits with you at night and makes you wonder if the friendships and love around you are real. midwxst’s voice shifts between anger and sadness as he navigates those feelings. The production is layered but not too loud, letting his message stay front and center.
This song will speak to anyone in their late teens or early 20s who’s ever felt left out, unheard, or misunderstood by people in their circle. It’s honest, it’s sharp, and it shows how midwxst continues to grow as both a writer and an artist. “hostile” doesn’t give easy answers—but it does give listeners a voice for emotions they might not know how to say out loud.
