Moody Joody, aka your new favorite indie-alt trio, just revealed their new single, “Loretta’s Last Call,” preceded by “OOPS!” The Nashville outfit offers glittery sonics, soaring vocals, and upbeat melodies that tackle that feeling we all know too well…thinking about your ex at a late-night bar.
“This song brings out our ‘hopeless romantic’ side. Romanticizing a past relationship and really leaning into the yearning of it all. It’s that feeling at the end of a rom-com, when the protagonist realizes they’ve made a huge mistake and they’re frantically running through a city or wherever they are trying to get to this person to tell them they’ve messed up and can’t picture their life without them. It’s their last call; their last chance. I like to picture it ending well—with a dramatic kiss as the end credits roll,” says lead vocalist and guitarist Kaitie Forbes.

Co-lead vocalist and synth player Kayla Hall adds, “On our last tour opening for the band Arizona, I was walking down the street in Boston with my ex’s sister, who was our tour manager at the time. We were debriefing the debauchery and crash out I’d had over my ex the night before at our Philly show. The kind of crash out where I’m crying to my ex’s mom at the merch table after the show level crash out. We walked by a bar called Loretta’s Last Call, and I wrote it down in my notes app, where most of my initial lyrics and ideas live. I originally thought maybe I’d save it for a country write, an ode to Loretta Lynn, or something in the future.”
Hall continues, “The day we were in the studio hashing out the song, we still hadn’t landed on a chorus, and I remember pulling up the title and throwing it out there. Ironically and unintentionally, the song beautifully captures a place and time and emotion I was feeling when I wrote that title down during a specific chapter of heartbreak, longing, yearning that I don’t know would’ve been captured otherwise had we not written this song. It’s a special one to me, and for anyone out there romanticizing a past relationship in a place of longing, my heart goes out to you.”
