Which Mitski Song Are You (2024)

FAQs

What is Mitski's most played song? ›

The most popular song by Mitski is “My Love Mine All Mine” with a total of 1.7M page views.

This album was released as a part of a project when Mitski was studying studio composition in college. Most of the songs were presumably written when she was 18, making “Lush” one of the big marks of the start of her career.

Mitski's first song “Have Yourself a Mitsuki Little Christmas” released on December 17, 2010.

"Blinding Lights" by the Weeknd is the most streamed song on Spotify, with over 4 billion streams. As of September 2024, "Blinding Lights" (2019) by Canadian singer the Weeknd is the most streamed song on Spotify.

“Toss your dirty shoes inside my washing machine heart / Baby, bang it up inside”, she sings, insinuating that Mitski's knowingly entering a relationship that she knows will hurt and break her. “I know who you pretend I am,” she even admits, which she follows up by questioning “Do mi ti / Why not me?”.

She later talked about how she planned to quit music completely and "find another life". By early 2020, Mitski had changed her mind and decided to return to music, partly because she owed her label another album and partly for herself.

She chose her stage name as a shortened version of her first name (Mitsuki) and her mother's maiden name (Miyawaki.)

Born in Japan to an American father and Japanese mother, singer-songwriter Mitski (Miyawaki) '13 moved around during her youth, living in over 13 countries around the world, before graduating from high school in Turkey.

Mitski was 25 when this album came out; I was 20 when I first heard it.

Did Mitski win a Grammy? ›

MITSKI — 0 NOMINATIONS, 0 WINS

On September 15th 2023, Mitski released her stunningly lush album The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We. However, despite receiving abundant praise from both fans and critics, the beloved indie musician did not receive a single Grammy nomination this year.

Mitski makes her way to the top of the chart while a pair of tracks breaks their way into the top 10. Mitski's “My Love Mine All Mine” climbs to No. 1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 for the week posting October 12.

While Lana Del Rey's music is often associated with the indie pop and alternative genres, she skillfully weaves together various musical elements, resulting in a unique, beautiful and eclectic sound. She effortlessly blends elements of pop, rock, and vintage styles, giving her music a timeless quality.

Over the years, Mitski has cited Connie Converse, Frank Ocean, David Lynch, her classical training in music, Jeff Buckley, M.I.A, Björk, Kate Bush, Ikue Asazaki, and global folk music as some of her influences.

It was never a hit single and got almost no play on Top 40 radio. There's even a dispute over the exact title. Yet “It's a Small World,” also known as “It's a Small, Small World” and “It's a Small World (After All),” is very likely the most played song in music history — nearly 50 million times.

However, she has gained massive popularity on social media. As of February 2022, her music has been featured in over 2.5 million videos on TikTok.

In 2019, Mitski announced that she was leaving music indefinitely, then clarified that it wasn't permanent.
