The stunningly honest and vulnerable track is the lead single from Weird Faith, Diaz’s new LP, due out February 9 via ANTI-. Through 12 new tracks, the established musician and songsmith highlights the complicated emotions that emerge during the first moments of a burgeoning relationship.
“This record is about the beginning of love, and saying every feeling out loud, when I feel it, for better or worse because I can’t help it,” Diaz shared in a statement.
Produced by Sam Cohen and Konrad Snyder, Weird Faith also includes “Don’t Do Me Good,” a collaboration with Kacey Musgraves. The album serves as a follow-up to her captivating 2021 record History of a Feeling, which led the 37-year-old talent to join Harry Styles as support for his record-breaking world tour.
