Beabadoobee today returns with her new single ‘Last Day On Earth’, her first new music since the re-lease of her debut album Fake It Flowers at the end of last year. ‘Last Day On Earth’ was written at the very start of the pandemic and imagines what she’d have done had we known what was ahead of us, un-folding as a night of fun in the song’s video which was directed by Arnaud Bresson of Division Paris (M.I.A, Rosalia, ASAP Rocky).
‘Last Day On Earth’ is the first track to be taken from beabadoobee’s forthcoming new EP, Our Extended Play, written and produced with Matty Healy and George Daniel of The 1975. The pair spent early lock-down with Bea and her band in the Oxfordshire countryside, collaborating from the ground up on a di-verse collection of new songs.

Bea says that “Last Day On Earth is about all the things I would have done had I known we were going into a lockdown and the world was going to change the way it has. It was written shortly after the first main lockdown and lyrically it’s me reflecting on how it would feel if we all knew ahead of time what was going to happen. All the things I would have done if I knew it was the last day of our old normality. I wrote and recorded the EP on a farm with Matty and George from The 1975 in the countryside. It was really nice being able to create together, my first time writing and recording in that kind of setting. I wanted to experiment on the sounds and sonics even more and the EP to me has a feeling of togetherness to it… how we’re all in this joined as one”.
Beabadoobee is set to play a run of headline shows later this year. The Fake It Flowers tour will take place across the UK and Ireland in September and October, taking in 14 dates across the country, in-cluding a hometown show at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town. Final tickets are on sale now.
