Help me find this song I don't remember at all

I'm trying to find a song that was promoted for months in the video advertorial loop at LA Fitness. Sketchy details within.
They ran this video loop that promoted up-and-coming artists between ads for Belvita breakfast biscuits. The song I'm looking for was by a young woman solo artist.
The video depicts her bopping up the street in Los Angeles.
White girl. 20s.
She had curly hair I think? Maybe red hair?
She is wearing hipster clothes in the video. She is wearing maybe a denim jacket?
I dimly remember some lyric about borrowing money or giving someone money or something. Probably rhymed with "honey".
Fairly bland uptempo pop rock sound. This isn't some cool, funky, jazzy, neo-soul … No. It is very straight ahead pop rock.
It was not anyone notable! It was not Carlie Rae Jepsen or Tove Lo or something. Way less notable! I am not looking at the charts because I really doubt it charted anywhere but on the LA Fitness charts.
One song from that loop that I do remember is "End of an Era" by Public Access T.V., a New York band that cultivates a 1980s throwback thing.
Ok. Thank you.

They're pretty notable, but HAIM - Want you back fits the rest of the criteria.

Response by poster: Thank you for the suggestions! It's definitaly a solo female artist, and it's an uptempo pop/rock song, so not HAIM. The Kiesza video is great, but it's not right either. The song I have in mind is in no way EDM.

I hate to make this much harder, but this site says that if you send them your independent music video and $25, they'll offer it to LA Fitnesses across the country to be played on their in-house channel.
I don't think this company controls LA Fitness programming. I think LA Fitness has a group that makes in-house programming only for them, accepting unique content from many different submitters. Basically, the video you saw might not have been released widely and might not be an act who is on any type of label. Maybe try contacting LA Fitness? Or combing through Youtube or Bandcamp or other sources for independent music?

Response by poster: I saw that page as well. I'm sure the song was some kind of paid placement, but it wasn't a $25 promo. It was played on a loop for weeks, such that I heard it every time I went to the gym. It was also professionally produced, and I think there was an interview segment. Rather than a $25 promo, I think it was probably placed by a record company or a management company. I guess my hope is that someone else who frequented LA Fitness in the mid teens remembers it. Thanks!
