Omaha-born and Nashville-based indie pop lyrical songsmith Noah Floersch announced he will be releasing his brand new alter-ego album Francis Aquarius out October 3rd via Concord Records. In celebration of the announcement, Noah has released his most gut-wrenching track yet with “Somebody Nobody Gets Over.”
The new song dives into the ache of unexpectedly running into an ex, watching them move on… and realizing you never really did. Co-written by Asia Whitacre, whose background vocals blend seamlessly with Noah’s, the track builds a vocally raw and emotionally charged performance that hits like a gut punch. The heart-on-sleeve chorus: “You’re somebody nobody gets over / Never gonna give myself the closure / Never gonna stop pulling you closer…” leaves listeners wanting to hit repeat the moment it ends. The music video, directed by Neta Ben Ezra and filmed in a Nashville greenhouse, captures the song’s emotional weight, showcasing Noah in his element: performing live.

Noah further elaborates: “‘Somebody Nobody Gets Over’ is an anthem for the heartbroken. Nothing hurts quite like watching the love of your life move on with someone new—especially as you try to remain friendly. It’s the kind of pain you get out by screaming along to a comfort song. Hopefully, Somebody Nobody Gets Over can be that song for some people.”
Francis Aquarius is more than just an album; it’s a character study, written from the perspective of the anti-hero and alter-ego character: Francis Aquarius. Named after Noah’s middle name and star sign, the album steps into the shoes of a messy, deeply flawed alter ego: Francis is a guy who’s spiraling through heartbreak, drinking too much, saying the wrong things, and learning the hard way that he might be the problem. With tongue-in-cheek humor and gut-punching emotional vulnerability, the album tackles the darker side of things as opposed to Noah’s self-titled debut album, Noah.
“The last album was like, ‘Here I am, check me out, and everything’s beautiful and great,’” Noah says. “This one is like, here’s this really fun facade, but don’t look too long or you might see the ugly in me. The music fucking rocks, and it’ll move your body, and it’s gonna be a blast to perform. But if you check out the lyrics a little bit, there’s some poignancy there that is very, very true for me.”
But while Francis Aquarius might be an anti-hero, Noah Floersch is quite the opposite. With over 75 million global streams, Noah has built an audience one song and one heartbreak at a time. His breakout track “Ghost of Chicago” has racked up over 35 million Spotify streams, and his duet with Em Beihold, “The Bird Song,” has introduced his storytelling to a whole new audience, including earned co-signs from Gracie Abrams, SZA, and the Taco Bell Feed The Beat Class of 2025, along with praise from outlets like Ones To Watch.
Noah recently announced he will be hitting the road this fall on his headline “Somethin’ Bout A Tour,” kicking off on September 29th in Orlando, Florida. The 21-date run will see Noah performing at some of the country’s hottest stages, including Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, NY on October 6th, Los Angeles’s own Troubadour on October 24th, and returning to his now hometown of Nashville, TN to perform at Basement East on November 3rd.

Growing up in Omaha, Nebraska, Noah was one of six kids in a Catholic family (super Catholic — his great-aunt was a nun, and his older brother is now a monk). By middle school, he was hearing Jon Bellion, Vampire Weekend, and Mumford & Sons from his older brothers or in the carpool to soccer practice, and in high school choir, he gained a life-changing appreciation of the power of performance. He put out a slate of singles, EPs, and his first full-length, It’s Nice Out, while still in college in Lincoln, Nebraska; right after graduation, he moved to Nashville, and shortly thereafter, the single “Ghost of Chicago” from his second record Noah unexpectedly went viral, racking up millions of streams just about overnight.
