BENEE Releases New Song “Sad Boiii”
Los Angeles-based New Zealand singer-songwriter BENEE returned with a new song “Sad Boiii” on September 4, 2024.
The song is her first solo music since the 2023 single “Bagels”.
As the single, the song is the follow-up to the collaborative song Love Cocoon with Kenyan-New Zealand reggae singer Muroki, which was released last November.
It was written by Leroy Clampitt, and Stella Rose Bennett. Produced by Leroy Clampitt and Spencer Zahn.
The accompanying music video was directed Nikki Milan Houston.
“I tried to write a summery and happy tune with a dark meaning,” BENEE said of the song 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.”- She continued, “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!”
