YUNGBLUD Premieres New Song “fleabag” on BBC Radio 1
British singer-songwriter YUNGBLUD premiered a new song “fleabag” on BBC Radio 1's Future Sounds with YUNGBLUD.
The song is his first music since the second album “Weird!”, which was released last December.
It was written by Dominic Harrison, Amy Allen, Gregory Aldae Hein and Andrew Wells. Produced by Andrew Wells, Chris Greatti and Mike Crossey.
He first premiered the song at Whisky-A-Go-Go in Los Angeles back in June.
“I wrote 'fleabag' in a really dark time of my life, when a lot of people around me had an expectation about what I should be. To tell you the truth it's about being fucking gutted about people judging me and trying to tear me down. I felt so alienated, I felt so alone,” YUNGBLUD said. “When everybody else has an expectation of what you should be or have their own version of your truth it messes with your brain because you start to think 'maybe they're right, maybe they do know what's best for me, maybe I should change who I am,' but ultimately I believe to my core – its the foundation I built my whole ideology around, that self-expression and the right to be unconditionally yourself is the best thing you can be. Nobody should determine how you express yourself except YOU. You are brilliant, you are beautiful, you are individual just by breathing.”
He continued, “This song is a kick back. A kick back against the world, a kick back against my friends, against my family and some of my fanbase. I am who I am, all I want to do is spread love and lead with my heart. I've always told people to be themselves, sometimes I have to remember that message myself.”- source : BBC Radio 1
