The lead single from Clairo's 2024 album Charm, released on 23 May 2024 ahead of the album's release in July. The sources available here don't name her guitar or amp, so the rig is a suggestion. Use a warm, clean neck-pickup tone with a little compression, and play loose, fingerpicked or lightly strummed chords. No transcription could be checked, so no tuning is given.

The guitar on "Sexy to Someone" (released 2024) isn't documented; the Fender Player II Jazzmaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck pickup on the guitar.

Can I play "Sexy to Someone" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Sexy to Someone" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
