Being compared with an ex is bad enough. Being compared with one over a driving electronic beat is Cameron’s answer. “Love Me Like Your Ex,” the 23-year-old Nashville pop artist’s single, turns a dating frustration into a compact, club-ready rush.

The title gives away the provocation, but the record has a smarter hook than simple resentment: it asks what happens when a current relationship starts feeling like an audition for somebody who is gone.

Cameron has been adding momentum since his January 2025 debut, “I Can Take You Home,” and this release signals a clear shift from the 1980s-informed colour he associates with his earlier work.

He names Troye Sivan and Tate McRae as reference points, which makes sense in the track’s clean, high-energy electronic-pop frame. He also has a proper creative unit around him.

Logan Lanning produced the official lyric video release, Gino Quartucci is credited as co-producer, and their social-media partnership has a shared pop instinct, evident in a record that makes its point fast.

“Love Me Like Your Ex” runs for 2:27, and that short format benefits its premise. A pulsing synth bassline, soft pads, metallic synth punches, kick drum, claps, and quick hi-hats keep the rhythm moving at a steady mid-tempo clip.

Cameron works the verses with clipped, rhythmic phrasing that sits between sung melody and conversational snap. Reverb and layered vocals add weight to the hook.

It is electronic pop built to land before anyone can overthink it.

The lyric writing does its strongest work when it turns irritation into quotable lines. “Treat me like your ex” is repeated as the central demand, while phrases such as “Babe I’m one of one” and “Am I really what you like” push against the comparison at the record’s core.

There is confidence in those words, but it comes with a flinch. Cameron is not pretending the situation is tidy.

He lets self-belief, suspicion, jealousy, and desire crowd the same few minutes, which is exactly why the track feels closer to a late-night message thread than a polished breakup speech.

That mix of flash and discomfort is the song’s best move. In the current dating-app and group-chat culture, old partners can stay oddly present through stories, references, and the habit of measuring every new connection against the last one.

Cameron turns that low-level annoyance into a pop release built for repeat plays. The official lyric video makes the case visually through blue-tinted night driving, lightning flashes, smoke, glowing vertical bars, and glitch effects behind bold words.

The imagery gives the song a restless after-dark feel without trying to explain every feeling for the viewer.

The track’s directness may also be its limitation. The hook is immediate, yet the song leaves the story at the point of confrontation rather than pushing into a fuller consequence.

A later single could give Cameron more room to complicate the character behind the question. Still, the brevity suits this moment.

The record arrives, makes the comparison impossible to ignore, and exits before the tension loses its charge.

For listeners looking for new music that mixes synth-pop polish with the awkwardness of modern romance, “Love Me Like Your Ex” has real replay appeal.

It fits a late drive, a getting-ready playlist, or the part of the night when one badly timed comparison becomes everybody’s conversation.

Cameron is sharpening a contemporary pop lane that feels personal, immediate, and ready for bigger rooms.

Press play now, then watch how far he takes that instinct next.
