beabadoobee shares new song “Glue Song”

beabadoobee has shared a surprise new single to celebrate Valentines Day. “Glue Song” is a short and sweet, two-minute jam centering a sing-song melody and some simple acoustic strumming that gives way to sugary strings and a subtle trumpet. “Don’t forget to kiss me / Or else you’ll have to miss me / I guess I’m stuck forever by the glue,” she sings early on, getting cute with it right out of the gate.

“I wrote a lot of this song while on tour across Australia and Asia in the back of cars and traveling,” she writes in a press release. “It’s a heartfelt song that means a lot to me… a love song and the first one I’ve written in my new relationship. I usually write these songs that are sad; in the past, with my writing, even when it doesn’t sound sad looking back, the lyrics usually have been. For the first time, this is just me being really happy. I’m in a really positive place for the first time in a long time and feeling love. We recorded the song with my guitarist and producer Jacob in his house and added in trumpets and strings. This song feels really personal and I went to my home town in Iloilo [Phillipines] to film the music video. It’s where I was born, and so that also added another personal touch to the song.”

beabadoobee’s sophomore album, Beatopia, arrived in July 2022. She’ll kick off a European tour March 4 in Hamburg, Germany and head stateside later that month to join Taylor Swift’s Eras tour.
