Tom Cardy's "Mixed Messages" was the Australian musical comedian's debut single, tried out first on TikTok and then released officially in 2021 as the lead single from his debut EP, Artificial Intelligence. He did the whole thing himself, writing, recording and producing it that July in his home studio while he was building the EP.
It's electropop played for laughs: the familiar agony of trying to text a crush, spiraling into non-sequiturs, negging and ever more absurdly violent tangents, all at a perky 111 beats per minute in E-flat major. It also gave Cardy his first appearance in Triple J's Hottest 100.
