Remi Wolf just had a great trip to Miami, which was very different from one that inspired her to write one of her most popular songs.

The breakout pop-funk singer headlined Spotify’s “Live Sessions” earlier this month. The Sept. 3 party at Astra Rooftop in Wynwood doubled as a launch of Sol de Janeiro’s new Intense Mist fragrances.

The 300-person-strong event included gobs of the Brazilian-inspired perfume, glam stations, selfie ops as well as a rousing performance by Wolf, whose playlist included her viral TikTok hit “Bottle,” and a cover of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.”

Wolf has often talked about how she was inspired to pen 2024’s “Alone in Miami” off her sophomore album “Big Ideas” after an unforgettable solo visit during Art Basel.

“Soak up the sound of crypto bros, eating Cubanos by myself, brand new to town,” begin the lyrics. “Dip my toes, the water’s warm …. The walls are closin’ in on me in this Art Deco museum, daughters in thongs are roamin’ freely, pop stars in my DMs.”

Around the time the song dropped, Wolf explained the origin story to BBC personality Zane Lowe on his Apple Music podcast.

The “American Idol” alum went into a little more detail about the ‘90s influenced track, which was based on a trip to the annual art fair held every December.

The “literal first thing” Wolf did upon landing was not go to the galleries or convention center, but to seek out a staple of our diet, the iconic pressed Cubano sandwich, she told Lowe.

Soon enough, the California native began seeing “crypto bros,” a trendy nickname for dudes in the cryptocurrency community, all over the place. Wolf didn’t note which year she attended Basel, but NFTs got big around 2021.

The 30-year-old anti-hipster apparently wanted none of that, so went to the beach, chilled and listened to one of her heros, alt-rock legend Liz Phair.

“Essentially, I took that entire experience, which was like a four-day craze,” Wolf said of her creative process in the 305. “I didn’t have to make anything up.”
