Julia Michaels is pretty good at surviving a heartbreak storm. On Friday, the songwriter extraordinaire released the video, which Rolling Stonecan exclusively premiere, for her new single “No Heartbreak’s Killed Me Yet,” which follows her roaming the streets and subways of New York City.
“This song is about confidence and resilience,starting somethingwith the faith that you will be OK even in the worst casescenario,” Michaels tells Rolling Stone. “Shooting the video all over New York was fitting because it’s a city that has a resilientenergy; there is that saying that if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere.”
Michaels finds NYC to be the “perfect metaphor” for relationships: It’s a “beautiful place that’s very tough,” she jokes.
The new single follows the release of her May 2025 EP, Second Self, which included “Heaven II” and “Scissors” with Maren Morris. “She’s so brilliant when I bring an idea in and elevating it,” Morris previously told Rolling Stone. “We just giggle and sing melodies all day to each other. We always choose the lyric that makes us laugh.”
The new music comes after Michaels has co-written some of pop music’s biggest hits in the last two years: She co-wrote songs “Bed Chem,” “Taste,” and three others from Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n Sweet, “Call Me When You Break Up” by Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, and several standouts from Tate McRae’s So Close to What, including “Revolving Door” and “Sports Car.”
“No Heartbreak’s Killed Me Yet” was released under her self-launched GFY Records, as was her EP from earlier this year. (The “GFY” in the label’s name stands for “Go Fuck Yourself.”)
