Tones And I’s ‘Bad Child’ And ‘Can’t Be Happy All The Time’ Hint At An Upcoming Release

After Tones And I‘s breakout track “Dance Monkey” became the most Shazamed single of all time, the singer is gearing up to release more music. Tones And I debuted two singles side-by-side Thursday. “Bad Child” reflects the upbeat energy of Tones And I’s debut EP, The Kids Are Coming, while “Can’t Be Happy All The Time” shows a more introspective side of the singer.

In a statement, Tones And I vocalist Toni Watson detailed her inspiration behind the new singles: “’Can’t Be Happy All The Time’ is a song about the struggles of rising to fame so quickly and dealing with a dramatic change in lifestyle – the good and bad the comes with it.” She also explained the single “Bad Child,” noting: “I’ve always wanted to write a song in someone else’s shoes; writing from their perspective. ‘Bad Child’ was the first time I got to do that. It’s seeing life growing up through someone else’s eyes. This is the first of a bunch of songs I’m releasing this year and I can’t wait to share more.”
