Cassadee Pope has dropped upbeat single ‘Bad Decisions’, taken from the deluxe edition of her 2024 album ‘Hereditary’.
With the Grammy-nominated artist’s latest album landing early this summer, the deluxe edition of ‘Hereditary’ will arrive on September 13.
Featured on the record alongside two more unreleased tracks, ‘Bad Decisions’ explores the twists and turns we all experience throughout life.
Take a listen via the track’s brand-new video below, compiled of footage from Cassadee’s recently wrapped US ‘Hereditary’ tour.
Speaking on ‘Bad Decisions’, Cassadee has shared:
“This song felt like the perfect backdrop to show my journey on the road and connecting with my fans. There are so many ups and downs that come with touring and highlighting that felt like the right visual for the song.”
We recently spoke to Cassadee all about the story of ‘Hereditary’, where she opened up on her return to pop-punk:
“It’s so cool and I think that right now, I’m ready for this chapter. Before, I would have put a lot of weight behind it. Everyone has insecurities, but I always struggled with insecurities within the rock genre. I never felt weird enough, and I always felt like the pop chick. I felt as though I wasn’t intriguing enough. I probably put a lot of that on myself, but it didn’t help that Hey Monday was constantly compared to Paramore. They were absolutely blowing up, and we were not. That left a bad taste in my mouth for a long time, but once I worked through that, I was able to see that I had an influence on the genre.
Hey Monday was such a short-lived thing, so I don’t often think about the legacy or the impact we had on the genre. Once I started to dip my toes into the waters of rock again though, I would post about Hey Monday, and all these people started coming into my orbit. All the fans that fell off because they weren’t as interested in the country stuff came back, and everybody was excited that I was back. A lot of people weren’t convinced by the country stuff, and now that I’m back in this genre, it feels like this is where I should be. It feels like I’m at a place in my life where I’m ready for this chapter.”
