“It may not be the most likely collaboration, but we’ve known each other for a long time” listen to Sigrid’s new duet with Bring Me The Horizon, ‘Bad Life.’
Last Monday (April 14), Sigrid previewed the collaboration on TikTok, uploading a behind-the-scenes footage with BMTH vocalist Oli Sykes. The video was put to an audio snippet of the upcoming track, with the couple singing the words “It’s only a bad day/ Not a bad life.” It’s the hardcore band’s first collaboration with the Norwegian singer-songwriter.
“I’m really pleased about ‘Bad Life’ being out in the world with the Bring Me boys!” Sigrid commented of the song. We’re very proud of this one, and we hope it may provide some solace.
“It may not seem like the most likely collaboration, but we’ve been fans of each other for a long time and are ecstatic to be able to work together on this song.” Filming the video was an incredible and bizarre experience in and of itself!”
“It conveys the story of when things are difficult and it sometimes feel like you’re never going to stop feeling sad,” Sigrid said of the song.
“Jordan and I wrote this song in lockdown, remotely,” Sykes continued. We liked the message, but it didn’t quite match the brief for the record we’re working on right now.” We felt it was the right fit for Sigrid when we found out she was a fan, though I was hesitant at first because it was such a special record. Then Sigrid asked if I’d want to duet with her on the track, and that was it!”
The song is the most recent in BMTH’s string of collaborations. The band was featured on the Masked Wolf track ‘Fallout’ earlier this month, while the release of’maybe’ in March marked another collaboration with Machine Gun Kelly.
In other Sigrid news, the singer announced the release of her new album, ‘How To Let Go,’ in March.
The second studio album, due out on May 6, is the follow-up to 2019’s ‘Sucker Punch.’ The musician has released three songs from the album: ‘It Gets Dark,’ ‘Burning Bridges,’ and ‘Mirror.’
