Benee - Sad Boiii

Kicking off what promises to be another bold and bright creative chapter, multi-platinum alt-pop visionary Benee returns with a brand new single entitled 'Sad Boiii.'

The track marks the first release from the New Zealand-born and Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter since 2023. 

'Sad Boiii' captures the breezy energy of a New Zealand summer in its loosely strummed guitar chords and island-inspired beat.

About the song, Benee shares: "I tried to write a summery and happy tune with a dark meaning ... A lot of New Zealand music has a reggae energy, which is very nostalgic for me."

She continued: "Lyrically, ‘Sad Boiii’ is about being in a relationship where you’re pissed off with the other person because he has a façade going on. Even though he pretends to be tough, he’s just another damaged boy who needs help.

"I fall for so many of those men, and it’s draining. They don’t want to get therapy; they just want to stay with you. Don’t be fooled by the bad boy image!”

With more music on the horizon for 2024, Benee’s just getting started.
