Yungblud Channels Positivity In These 'Weird!' Times With New Music Video

Yungblud has released his previously teased song, "Weird!," And it's like it's made so far, as soon as the very fabric of reality feels flimsy. This shining anthem for defeating anxiety is a personalized screed, however its broad strokes can be applied to anyone dealing with constant fear and uncertainty.


The metallic happiness of "Weird!" Is something you've got to hear for yourself. It's as sharp and saccharine because the theme  song from My Life As A Teenage Robot, but once the guitars kick in, this would be the soundtrack to a romantic montage on American Pie. Yungblud moonwalks on this glitzy landscape and explains feelings that several are also experiencing now. "I feel anxious all of the time/ If I smiled, I could be lying," he sings.


On the chorus though, this miserable mimosa gets tossed in the sink as soon as Yungblud lets the listener know that they'll feel better in the future. "We're in a weird time of life/ Don't wreck your brain/ It'll be alright," he assures, giving you the thumbs up. Its warm stuff and you'll feel better about whatever's bothering you by the time that he pushes onward.


Yungblud isn't just giving out advice — he's been dealing with some serious stuff also. "Some days I'll laugh, one day I'll cry/ Visualize my mum and father die/ Nevertheless the sun will shine tomorrow," he assures, keeping his head up. He wishes for each person to have this optimism that he has at this moment and to push forward proudly.


In a recent interview with NME, Yungblud revealed that "Weird!" Was written last year and was inspired by his rise to fame. "The past 18 months were so weird for me,” he mentioned. “I nearly lost my mum in a vehicle accident. I was in a relationship and got my heart damaged. We blew up and got well known really rapidly. I began from depression and thought about suicide again.”


"It felt like I was walking down the pavement yet I felt like I was going to fall down the cracks," he continued. "It’s just been a dark twisted, mental time. I thought that it was going to swallow me whole and I’d never be seen again – however I came out the other side of it.”


"Weird!" Is the begin of a "new fookin era," according to a tweet from Yungblud that came with the song's release. The artist revealed to NME that his next album, as soon as it comes, will sound worlds different than his 2018 debut LP, 21st Century Liability. "“I’m not irritated anymore," he mentioned. "The first album was so upset and leading into the EP [The Underrated Youth] I got hopeful, and right now I feel optimistic.”
