Actor and singer Mckenna Grace celebrates her 18th birthday today with the release of her new single “loser!!” This milestone aligns with her ongoing success in both her acting and music careers, including her recent role in “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” which premiered on March 22nd as a follow-up to “Ghostbusters: Afterlife.”
“loser!!” is an energetic punk track that highlights Mckenna’s unique approach to songwriting. The song, produced by David Burris and co-written by Grace, Burris, and Kella Armitage, is filled with introspective lyrics and the social awkwardness that resonates with her fans. The track captures the essence of teenage angst with lines like “Get depressed, blow off my friends then cry about how no one likes me” and “Go write a song, just another blonde trying to be a punk rock singer.”
In addition to the single, Mckenna released a music video that brings a humorous and nostalgic touch to the song. Directed by Justin Mitchell and Lottie Abrahams, the video depicts Mckenna’s prom night, complete with classic prom scenes and a playful vibe. The video captures everything from intimate moments of girl talk to fun antics in the back seat of a limo, ending with Mckenna and her friends rocking out and embracing their inner “loser.”
Reflecting on the release, Mckenna shared, “I wrote this song about feeling like a loser and a wannabe. I wanted to create something fun and rock-inspired, as that’s where my musical journey began. This track is a self-aware and lighthearted take on those feelings.”
“loser!!” follows Mckenna’s recent single “Gentleman,” which received significant attention with a music video premiere on MTV and a feature on a Times Square billboard. The song also garnered airplay on BBC Radio1 Future Pop in the UK and Z100 and SiriusXM Hits1 in the US, surpassing over 1 million streams worldwide.
Mckenna Grace continues to make waves in the music industry, amassing over 100 million streams with her blend of confessional lyrics and catchy melodies. She is set to perform at Lollapalooza in August, marking another milestone in her burgeoning music career.
“loser!!” is the third single Mckenna has released this year, following “Natalie” in January and “Gentleman” in May. These tracks build on the success of her 2023 sophomore mini EP Autumn Leaves and her debut EP Bittersweet Sixteen, which featured popular singles like “Ugly Crier” and “Buzzkill Baby.”
