Singer-songwriters Julia Michaels and Maren Morris have joined forces once more for a new collaboration called ‘Scissors’.
The breezy offering discusses being able to cut off a cheating ex with ease, with the pair singing, “You wanna say goodbye? I’m not crying rivers/ If you wanna cut ties/ I’ll get the scissors, baby.” Julia and Maren’s vocals complement each other’s perfectly, with the pair delivering a delicious mix of sweetness and sassiness as they prepare to say goodbye to the latest time waster in their lives.
Speaking about the track, Julia told ABC Audio: “I’ve had ‘Scissors’ written down in my Notes in my phone — I just thought it’d be a funny way of saying I’m unbothered. You know, just being like, ‘Hey, I’m actually not as sensitive as you might think I am. If you want to stay, cool. If not, I’m not going to cry.'”
‘Scissors’ comes accompanied by a Blythe Thomas-directed video which sees the pair take revenge on Julia’s on-screen love interest. Channeling their inner Edward Scissorhands, Julia and Maren get ready to perform surgery with a very tiny pair of scissors…

‘Scissors’ marks Julia and Maren’s second collaboration, following on from the 2024 track ‘cut!’. Despite the tracks having similar sounding names, they were written separately and are simply a result of “cosmic divinity”.
Speaking to Rolling Stones, Julia said: “It was just a wonderful and silly coincidence when these duets came together.” Maren added, “They were separate entities, but it felt like cosmic divinity that the titles mirrored each other.”
