If the caffeine hasn’t quite kicked in yet, press play on BESTIES’ new single “racecar.” I guarantee this energetic pop-punk track will wake you up.
“Nat and I wanted to distill all the fear and frustration of growing up so desperate for success that it can completely distort how you interact with the people around you — as if you’re already carrying around the regret and shame of being a failure before you’ve even given up,” explained BESTIES’ vocalist Max Pasalic. “’racecar’ is all about those anxieties coalescing in a sort of ‘dinner party from hell’ scene that I’m singing about in the song (‘dinner party, gin, barcadi, tell me what’s new with you, I’m sorry but I seem to have misplaced what I gotta prove’).”
