The Scott Street hitmaker has penned lyrics for SZA’s newly released track, Ghost in the Machine, in recent weeks and is featured on the song, released earlier this month.
Her verse on the track features Phoebe singing about ‘yelling’ at someone at the Ludlow hotel in Manhattan, New York and ‘being alone’ in a hotel lobby.
While she doesn’t reference any names, she has sparked speculation that she is hinting at her alleged split from Paul with the powerful lyrics.
She sings: ‘You said all my friends are on my payroll / You’re not wrong, you’re an idiot / Yelling at you at Ludlow / I was yours for free.’
‘I don’t get existential/I just think about myself and look where it got me/Standing alone in an airport bar or hotel lobby/Waiting to feel clean/This is so fucking boring.’
Phoebe recently told NME that she wrote the lyrics over the last few weeks after SZA messaged her on Instagram and asked her to contribute to the track.
She said: ‘It all happened so fast. I wasn’t really used to that in the pop world, because vinyl isn’t really considered until much later, it’s like, ‘Do you want to be on this album? Okay, it comes out next week’, which I really like. I like that response time.’
This comes after Phoebe sparked dating rumors with Bo Burnham, who she has been friends with since 2021.

Phoebe and Paul, known for their lead role in Normal People, sparked engagement rumors earlier this year before calling it quits.
They made their relationship official on Instagram for the first time this past December with a much-loved image of the two, shortly after making their first red carpet appearance at the LACMA Art+Film Gala.
The couple were romantically linked to each other after a source told The Sun that they spent a weekend together in August 2020.
The source shared: ‘Paul invited friends over and they played wild drinking games. Both are in love. Their membership on celebrity dating site Raya is a smokescreen to cover up that they are secretly a couple.
Paul has previously opened up about their romance, telling GQ magazine: ‘Having someone to lean on at such a crazy time was invaluable. Seriously, I don’t know where I would be without her.
Meanwhile, Phoebe told NME magazine in May that she thought Paul was a ‘cute boy’ after becoming a fan of him after watching Normal People.
She went on to follow him on Instagram, with the actor quickly returning the favor.
‘I got a flutter in my heart when I saw it,’ she gushed.
