Taking things a slower pace, YUNGBLUD has just shared a new ‘sad version’ of his latest single Don't Feel Like Feeling Sad Today.

Speaking on the original version of the track, at the time of release the 24-year-old opened up about what it meant to him: “I wrote this song on a morning when I didn’t even want to get out of bed. I sat and looked at the ceiling, head full of so much shit, reading what the internet was saying about me that day, and I just didn’t feel like feeling sad.”

He continued: “I wrote these words to help me stand up. To me this song is what happiness feels like. Happiness with a bite. A defiant sort of happiness. Looking at yourself in the mirror and telling the sadness to fuck off and come back another day. I wanted this song to be a little part of someone’s day, no matter what they're going through they can put this on and feel a bit stronger today. That’s the vision, that’s the dream…”

YUNGBLUD’s upcoming self-titled album is due out on September 2 via Locomotion / Polydor.
