MegMac (also stylised as "MEGMAC") is the self-titled debut extended play (EP) by Australian indie pop artist Meg Mac. It was released on 12 September 2014. The EP contains four original songs and a cover of Bill Withers' “Grandma's Hands”. Much of the record comprises hooks and riffs she wrote as a teenager or while studying music at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts in Perth.
The EP was nominated for Best Female Artist at the ARIA Music Awards of 2015 but lost to Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit by Courtney Barnett.
“Music is definitely a way for me to get things out, otherwise, they sit in my head and stay there. Once these issues become songs, they are just songs for me to sing, it’s like they’re just songs, and they’re not real anymore. How I feel at the end is different than how I felt at the beginning. I don’t ever rush. It has to be real and come to me naturally because, at the end of the day, I can’t get on stage and sing something if I don’t believe in it.”

The second single called “Every Lie” was released on 13 November 2013 The song saw her win the Triple J Unearthed spot at Falls Festival in Lorne, as well as being named a 2014 Next Crop artist.
