"Mad", which arrives after Hope Tala's Girl Eats Sun project in October last year, is accompanied by a Milicent Hailes-directed video, and is produced by seven-time Grammy award winner Paul Epworth.

Speaking about the new release, Hope Tala says, "I wrote "Mad" about having feelings of frustration and hysteria in a long-distance relationship. It’s about being unable to communicate properly, and feeling lost in loneliness - so it’s ironic that I wrote most of the song a week or two before the first lockdown started in the UK. Foreshadowing, almost."
