BENEE is back with a new single called ‘Sad Boiii’. The song arrives with an accompanying video directed by Nikki Milan Houston. Check it out below.
“I tried to write a summery and happy tune with a dark meaning,” BENEE said in a press release. “I’d go to local festivals as a kid, and I wanted to capture the vibe of the outdoor setting. A lot of New Zealand music has a reggae energy, which is very nostalgic for me. Lyrically, ‘Sad Boiii’ is about being in a relationship where you’re pissed off with the other person because he has a façade going on. Even though he pretends to be tough, he’s just another damaged boy who needs help. Maybe you came from that in a past relationship and thought this guy was more stable, but he ends up being a depressed dude too. I fall for so many of those men, and it’s draining. They don’t want to get therapy; they just want to stay with you. Don’t be fooled by the bad boy image!”
BENEE is currently on tour with Wallows and will join Olivia Rodrigo on the Australian leg of her GUTS Tour this October. Earlier this year, she was credited as a co-writer on NewJeans’ ‘How Sweet’.
