The Toronto singer-songwriter transforms an experience of digital harassment into a direct pop-rock response to victim-blaming and online judgment.
Chloe Sofia presents “Girl on the Internet”, a pop-rock single shaped by an experience of online harassment she encountered at 16. The song emerged from two situations that happened within days of one another: an unsolicited explicit image sent by a stranger online and a family friend contacting Chloe’s mother to question the way she dressed and posted on social media. Both experiences carried the same underlying pressure—to monitor her appearance, cover up and take responsibility for someone else’s behavior. “Girl on the Internet” takes that tension and turns it into a direct response, driven by a forward-moving pop-rock production from Kayla Diamond. Chloe co-wrote the song with Diamond in less than a week and, according to the release, none of the lyrics were rewritten during the process. Sessions moved between Diamond’s studio and Chloe’s home setup, preserving the first ideas that emerged during the writing process.
The song also draws a clear line between personal expression and other people’s behavior. For Chloe, what a woman wears or posts does not define who she is or justify the actions of others, an idea that runs through the song’s narrative and its confrontational chorus. “Girl on the Internet” arrives during a significant year for the Toronto artist, whose debut single “Pulse” placed as a runner-up in the Unsigned Only song competition and led to a partial scholarship to Prodigy Camp, an international program that has also included Chappell Roan among its alumni. Chloe attended the program in July 2026 and has also received Massey Hall’s Young Musician’s Commission, appeared on Spotify’s official “Pop All Day” editorial playlist and been nominated for Emerging Talent of the Year at the Mississauga Music Awards. Her production team includes JUNO-nominated producer Kayla Diamond and Los Angeles-based producer Stephen Conley, while Chloe has trained for four years with songwriting instructor Mike Siracusa at Merriam Music.
