Hey Monday‘s Cassadee Pope has returned with a brand-new single, “Three Of Us.” The track was preceded by “People That I Love Leave,” “Eye Contact,” and “Almost There.” But that’s not all… She also announced a new forthcoming solo album.
“SURPRISE! Not only is my new single “Three Of Us” out, but I finally get to tell you that my album “Hereditary” drops July 12th! This record reveals more about me and my story than anything I’ve ever released in the past. Strap in… it’s gunna be a wild ride,” she said on X/Twitter.
“Three Of Us” is a deeply personal, acoustic guitar-laced track recounting a relationship gone due to substance use. “But it’s you and me/And the drugs make three/If they’re so damn good/How could I compete?/You love to say that I’m fucked up/It’s either you and me or the drugs/’Cus I’m done with the three of us.”
Pope shares that the song “is about how heartbreaking it is to watch someone you love struggle with addiction. It’s a subject I’ve never written about but feel ready to share with my fans. And unfortunately, I know many of them have experienced something similar.” Check out “Three Of Us” below.
Along with the drop of a new song, music video, and album announcement, Pope even shared the full Hereditary tracklist. Excitingly, Underoath‘s Aaron Gillespie is set to feature on the record via the song “Ever Since The World Ended.” Plus, Pope teamed up with Daisha McBride, aka “The Rap Girl,” for “I Died.”
“My new album Hereditary offers a soundtrack to navigate the complexities of life with authenticity and courage,” Pope says. “I couldn’t think of a better backdrop for these lyrics than pop/punk and I hope this album gives people permission to feel everything.” You can pre-save the new record here.
