Singer-songwriter James Bay opens up to his fans in his new single, “Peer Pressure,” featuring Julia Michaels.
This is the first time we hear a new tune from Bay since his 2018 album Electric Light.
Listen to the new track below:
Bay stated he and Michaels wrote this “from a place they could both relate to,” and wanted to express the topic of love in way that would allow their fans to connect with the song the way they did.
“I think it can be easy to stay very guarded in life, and not let anybody in, past your personal armor. These guards we all put up every day for different reasons. In writing ‘Peer Pressure,’ Julia and I wanted to talk about how, when the right person comes along, they can break through any armor and with love, get straight to you. It’s about that person who, no matter how much of a guard you hold up, finds their way through to you,” said Bay.
Bay will be hitting the road very soon with Ed Sheeran. As of now he has no upcoming shows in Texas, but fingers-crossed that more tour dates will be added soon. You can now listen to “Peer Pressure” on ACL Radio.
