Marking their debut single, Laura Jane Grace & the Mississippi Medicals—fronted by LJG and featuring Matt Patton on bass, Mikey Erg on drums, and her wife Paris Campbell Grace on vocals and percussion—have unleashed “All Fucked Out.”
“Back in 2021, I sat down in my office to do some songwriting,” Laura Jane Grace explains in a press release. “Not knowing what specifically to write about that day, I challenged myself to write a song similar to whatever the current No. 1 hit in the world was at the time. I made the challenge to myself without knowing exactly what that song was, so I had to look it up, and as it turned out at that moment, the current No. 1 song in the world was ‘Butter’ by BTS. Now, for those of you not familiar with the song ‘Butter,’ it’s about how the singer is ‘smooth like butter.’”

She continues, “‘Hmmm…’ I thought to myself. ‘If they’re smooth like Butter, what am I?’ And the answer to that question is ‘All Fucked Out’—not to be confused with ‘All Fucked Up,’ mind you. ‘All Fucked Out’ as in zero fucks left to give.”
A quirky take on having zero fucks left to give, “All Fucked Out” is a slow-burn anthem that stands out with its raw honesty and distinct musical flair. The track is enhanced by backing vocals from Paris Campbell Grace, adding depth and harmony to the main melody. And yes, that unmistakable sound you hear is a cowbell, perfectly punctuating the song’s laid-back yet defiant vibe. Laura Jane Grace & the Mississippi Medicals are expected to announce a full project sometime this summer, but in the meantime, check out “All Fucked Out” below.
