Peach PRC returns with new single 'Forever Drunk'

Australia breakthrough star Peach PRC today releases her new single ‘Forever Drunk’, her first new single since the release of February’s masterful takedown of hypocritical Christianity ‘God Is A Freak’.

‘Forever Drunk’ is a dramatic, dancefloor banger with a conspicuious thread of melancholy running through it. Starting with a mellow, semi-acoustic verse, the song soon explodes with a thumping beat in the chorus, quickly grabbing hold of you and never letting go. In contrast with the gorgeously uplifting melodies, the lyrics see Peach opening up about the pain of losing the one she loves. ’Now that you’re gone I’m forever drunk / It hurts too much to sober up,’ she sings.

“‘Forever Drunk’ looks back at my first heartbreak, when at that time I thought this teenage relationship was all I had in my life, I had no family, I hated school, I didn’t think I was smart or talented,” she says. “So once I lost this person, I went into full on teenage melodramatic devastation, grovelling on my hands and knees begging to be taken back. I thought I would NEVER get over it at the time.”

‘Forever Drunk’ was written with acclaimed songwriter Bonnie McKee, who has also written for Britney Spears, Cher and Christina Aguilera.

“Originally ‘Forever Drunk’ was a much sadder song, but Bonnie and I turned it into an anthemic ‘dance while you cry’ bop, which is what I wanted the song to blossom into anyway,” Peach explains. “Bonnie’s like a big sister to me, we talk all the time with each other, sharing our little DIY creative endeavours and random ideas at ridiculous hours of the night. We’ve had such similar lives and have so much in common, not just in our bubblegum pop music but with our personal journeys too.”

Peach PRC has become one of the biggest new talents in the Australian pop scene since her breakthrough hit last year with ‘Josh’. Bringing hyper pop to the forefront, she has become one of the country's biggest champion of the genre and built an impressive fan base in the process, with close to two million followers on TikTok and collecting over 50 million streams on Spotify alone. With music that is both vulnerable and powerful, joyful and carefree, Peach PRC is an artist you can’t help but fall in love with.

‘Forever Drunk’ is out now via Island Records. You can download and stream here.
