On June 8, YUNGBLUD dropped a thrilling teaser for his forthcoming track “BREAKDOWN,” which will officially release on June 21.
Of the new project, the artist says, “This song is a message to myself to try and exist alongside my insecurities and my darkness by grounding myself and remembering what is real in life and the world is so much bigger than me. Try and get out of your head and notice the world around you, notice the things and people around you.”
He continues, “Don’t let the bullshit inside your head consume you. It just wastes precious time. Remember what is real. Help people, be kind, help the world, help yourself.”
Featuring shimmering, inspirational beats, YUNGBLUD‘s mental health journey-inspired track “BREAKDOWN” is sure to resonate with many. Check out the snippet below.
YUNGBLUD also shared on social platforms, “If you think you can’t do it, you can. You can get through this, trust me. Use this poem in a morning[g] to get u out of bed, use it when you[‘]re about to back out of something last minute, use it when you’re at your darkest.”
