Singer-songwriter Greyson Chance recently celebrated his 23rd birthday. The milestone appears to have been a critical turning point in the artist's career and personal life.
As he preps the release of a proper sophomore album, on the heels of "Honeysuckle", the artist now shares "Bad to Myself", a gospel-tinged pop ballad that touches on past destructive behavior.
Produced by and written alongside Teddy Geiger, the new effort touches on excessive drinking, wasting time on the wrong boys, and drowning in a sense of selfishness. Paired with the recent admission of suffering from anorexia over the last few years, Chance makes a promise to himself to do and be better.
"I'm done overthinking, every step that I take, poison, the way that I hesitate, and I'm dying to feel some real stimulation," he belts on the second verse, with conviction and trademark raspy vocals.
In addition to the lyrical material carrying such strong emotional weight, the radio-ready styling of "Bad to Myself" creates a sense of triumph and liberation, especially on the show-stopping chorus. After touring around the world to the point of exhaustion, the song serves as a powerful battle cry, a reset. From this point forward, Chance chooses to no longer hide his struggles. Instead, to learn and grow from them.
The tracks found on Chance's previous album outing portraits played out as moments in real time, events that positively and negatively affected the artist's trajectory forward. "Bad to Myself", and the string of his recent releases, follow the same structure. This time though, Chance is looking at himself in the mirror and smiling back at what he sees.
