In the video, she takes over a dive-bar setting with an all-female crew and her JaeBaes, serving drinks and dancing as the room turns into her own stage. The visual draws on the bar-room energy of the 2000 film <em>Coyote Ugly<\/em>, while its concept centers on the contrast between desire and earning Stephens\u2019 attention. Stephens said the song is about \u201cknowing your power and how to use it,\u201d adding that she wrote it as a reminder for women not to place their value in someone else\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n<p><i>AUDACITY<\/i> follows Stephens\u2019 run of <i>SELLOUT<\/i> releases, including <i>SELLOUT<\/i>, <i>SELLOUT II<\/i>, and <i>TOTAL SELLOUT THE DELUXE<\/i>. Across those projects, her music drew coverage from <em>Billboard<\/em>, <em>Rolling Stone<\/em>, <em>Clash Magazine<\/em>, and more. <em>SPIN<\/em> named <i>SELLOUT II<\/i> among its Best EPs of 2025, while Stephens later appeared on the November cover of <em>NME<\/em> and received the Popheads 2025 Best New Artist Award.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, Stephens opened for FLO on the U.S. leg of the \u201cAAA Tour\u201d before launching her own <i>SELLOUT<\/i> tour in October, with initial dates in Los Angeles, New York City, and London selling out within 24 hours.
