Sara Kays has returned with her new single, “Bored” alongside a new music video today. The new track marks her first original single of 2023, following her cover of Owl City’s “Fireflies” as well as last year’s “Math”, “When You Look At Me,” and “Watching TV”. Listen to the new track now below.
“‘Bored’ is such a personal song for me,” shares Sara. “I’ve always been a soft-spoken person and tend to keep my thoughts inside because the feeling that what I’m saying isn’t interesting immediately enters my mind whenever I speak. These feelings have lead me to be pretty closed off in relationships because I’m worried that fully opening up to someone will make them realize how boring I am. After experiencing these feelings heavily in a relationship, I was in last year, I was inspired to write ‘Bored’ which is mostly about trying to keep the focus on the other person as much as possible in a conversation to avoid them getting bored of me. Writing this song was a fun and emotional process and I’m so excited for it to be released!”
With over 620M worldwide streams and an intensely engaged and supportive audience on TikTok nearing 2M followers, Kays is disarmingly raw about everything from body image to mental health, her authenticity shining through in her powerful lyricism and expressive voice. The Nashville-based musician saw her profile grow with 2021’s breakthrough EP, Struck By Lightning, highlighted by the RIAA Platinum-certified, viral breakup anthem, “Remember That Night?“. Kays quickly garnered critical acclaim spanning
Billboard‘s “Emerging Artists Spotlight” and PEOPLE‘s “Talented Emerging Artists” lists, as well as making her national late night TV debut performing “Remember That Night?” on CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. With more new music on the horizon, Sara is poised to stake a claim as one of today’s most powerful and poignant singer-songwriters.
