Em Beihold Releases “Roller Coasters Make Me Sad”
Today, singer-songwriter Em Beihold shares her new single “Roller Coasters Make Me Sad” via Moon Projects/Republic Records.
An introspective track, it's the perfect anthem for anyone feeling confused as to why they aren’t happier when everyone around them seems to be enjoying themselves.
“First they take you up the track, build you up and take it back, everybody else will laugh, Roller Coasters make me sad.” Beihold doubles down on the bridge with “I should be having fun, I should be having fun, I should be having fun”, an internal chant for those who wish they had stayed home.
“It’s about the experience with ‘Numb Little Bug'," she admits. “On the day it dropped, the response was insane. I should’ve been happy. Instead, I felt this pressure to keep the momentum going. I knew that everything that goes up must come down. I was bracing for the fall, because it was so unbelievably good. I couldn’t just enjoy the ride. At the same time, I do hate Roller Coasters.”
Beihold’s new single comes after she joined forces with Stephen Sanchez for the television debut of their duet “Until I Found You.” Their collaboration has racked up nearly half a billion streams, while they captivated audiences with a performance on The Late Late Show With James Corden.
The year is already off to a massive start for Beihold, who will open for Lewis Capaldi on his North American 2023 tour. See full tour dates below.
