CMAT shares new single, "Stay For Something?"

06 September 2023, 12:50 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

CMAT unveils the third single taken from her forthcoming second album, Crazymad, For Me.

The single, which was produced by Matias Téllez, debuted as a Hottest Record In The World on Clara Amfo’s BBC Radio 1 show last night, with the James Slater-directed video premiering on her YouTube channel immediately after.

“It's basically just about questioning why I stayed / suffered in a bad relationship for as long as i did. trying to desperately find some kind of meaning in the mess and then being embarrassed when i remember the good parts," CMAT says. "It's not very lyrical or poetic, it's just a lot of emotion and energy - this song, to me, sounds like going for a run at 1am with your headphones on full blast, screaming through the streets in order to get away from your problems. i hope that at least one person does that when they hear it.”

"Stay For Something" follows on from "Where Are Your Kids Tonight", featuring John Grant, and "Have Fun!" which coincided with the album's announcement.

CMAT has announced further live dates, including a three-date solo run across North America, an extensive UK in-store tour and a third date at The Olympia in Dublin, which goes on sale this Friday

CMAT's forthcoming album, Crazymad, For Me, arrives on 13 October via AWAL Recordings.
