The pressed play on ‘Lovesick Lullaby‘, I was transported. Not just into YUNGBLUD’s wildly chaotic world – but straight into the heart of Britain, black cabs and Union Jacks in tow. Released on April 25, 2025, this isn’t just another song entry in YUNGBLUD’s ever-expanding discography – it’s a gritty love letter to his homeland, a raucous ode to messy hearts, and a sonic joyride through London’s storied streets. AND, he hits it our of the park.
A Love Song with Leather and Lipstick
‘Lovesick Lullaby’ pulses with that signature YUNGBLUD energy – part punk rebellion, part emotional confession. After the slower (but loud), introspective vibes of ‘Hello Heaven, Hello‘, this track crashes onto the scene like a lover sneaking in through your window at 3 AM – wild-eyed and breathless. It’s Britpop-meets-emo, with just enough grunge to scuff your Doc Martens.
The lyrics ache with longing, yet they’re delivered with a swagger that only YUNGBLUD can pull off. There’s desperation in his voice, sure – but also triumph, like falling in love with the wrong person and still shouting about it from the rooftops.
British Culture, Bottled and Shaken
The music video, directed by Charlie Sarsfield, is an absolute visual feast. We follow YUNGBLUD – decked out in eyeliner, tartan, and chains – as he drifts through a London soaked in nostalgia and neon. Picture this: a black cab weaving through the city, pints raised in a roaring pub, and a cheeky nod to the iconic Maxell ‘Break the Sound Barrier’ ad from 1982. It’s punk rock theatre, set against the backdrop of a city that helped shape him.
From Doncaster to the World
What really strikes a chord with ‘Lovesick Lullaby‘ is how personal it feels. Beneath the glam and the chaos lies something deeply heartfelt. It’s a return to roots – not just musical ones, but emotional ones too. YUNGBLUD doesn’t just sing about heartbreak; he makes it danceable. And that’s his magic trick: turning inner turmoil into anthems we can scream along to in sweaty venues or silent bedrooms.
For longtime fans, this is a classic YUNGBLUD moment. For newcomers? Buckle up. ‘Lovesick Lullaby‘ is loud, honest, and entirely unapologetic. Just like him.
