Today, Austra, the project of Katie Stelmanis, unveiled the music video for “Math Equation.”
The track serves as the leading single from her upcoming album called Chin Up Buttercup, set for release on November 14, 2025 via Pink Fizz (Canada) and Domino (Worldwide).
With its pulsing beats and shimmering synths, “Math Equation” leans into a clubby electro-eurodance sound that feels distinctly Austra—catchy, hypnotic, and theatrical in its delivery.
About the track by Katie:
Stelmanis unleashed her pain over the breakup into poetic fragments in a cathartic Google document that eventually became the source for the album’s powerful lyrics.
One such example is captured vividly in the album’s first riveting single “Math Equation”: ‘You said I needed my own friends / So I found them / Then you fucked them’.
There is an unmistakable type of sapphic chaos threaded through every song, and “Math Equation” is equal parts catchy clapback and bittersweet plea for reconnection. “Math Equation” comes with a video directed by Trevor Blumas.
