Turning the page to a new chapter, multi-platinum singer-songwriter Bishop Briggs shares a confessional new single entitled “Baggage”. Bishop also announces the arrival of her highly anticipated new EP, When Everything Went Dark – out June 23rd.

On the track, Bishop embraces her stark humanity like never before. She adds, “I am not perfect. In fact, I’m quite messy. I could say life is messy, which it is, but part of becoming an adult has been acknowledging the messiness that I have too.

“Baggage” is the first song where I stand in the mud and triumphantly stomp my feet in it. I can only hope that others feel empowered to own their version of messy and know that they aren’t alone in it. I have found that when I unabashedly show my imperfections and my wounds I am growing. So, there you have it, that’s my baggage.”

Mst recently, Bishop captivated the world with the 2022 favourite “superhuman.” Inspiring critical applause, Forbes lauded it as “brilliant” and proclaimed, “Like all great songs though, Briggs makes the tale universal.”

Prior, she dropped the emotionally charged one-two punch of “High Water” and “Art of Survival.” She enraptured viewers with a stirring rendition of “High Water” on CBS’ The Late Late Show with James Corden.

Simultaneously, “Revolution” graced the tracklisting of the EA Games NHL 23 Soundtrack and video game, while the MLB chose to use “Revolution” prominently during the playoffs. She also contributed “Lessons of the Fire” to the NETFLIX original series Devil In Ohio, which dominated the platform at #1 in the US and cracked the Global Top 10 for two weeks at #2.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can’t write the songs I used to
‘Cause I’m lucid in my state of mind
I cut some ties, I tried to
But there’s wounds that I can’t leave behind

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna be high
Like cinnamon Mulholland Drive
My enemy’s on the inside
It’s bleeding me, bleeding me dry

[Chorus]
That’s my baggage
This shit gets hard to manage
I’m carrying a casket
There’s no other way
My heart’s so calloused
I’m broken, bruised and damaged
Gave up on feeling balanced
But dammit, that’s my baggage
My heavy, heavy baggage

[Post-Chorus]
(My heavy, heavy baggage)
(My heavy, heavy)

[Verse 2]
I wish it wasn’t all true
I’m so cynical and miserable, stay away
God, after all I’ve been through
It’s a miracle I can even pray

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna be high
Like cinnamon Mulholland Drive
But I just can’t be who I’m not anyway

[Chorus]
That’s my baggage
This shit gets hard to manage
I’m carrying a casket
There’s no other way
My heart’s so calloused
I’m broken, bruised and damaged
Gave up on feeling balanced
But dammit, that’s my baggage
My heavy, heavy baggage

[Post-Chorus]
(My heavy, heavy, heavy)
(My heavy, heavy, heavy)
(My heavy, heavy, heavy)
My heavy, heavy baggage
(My heavy, heavy, heavy)
(My heavy, heavy, heavy)
(My heavy, heavy, heavy)
(My heavy, heavy baggage)

[Break]
Can’t write the songs I used to
Woah-oah-oah

[Chorus]
That’s my baggage
This shit gets hard to manage (Yeah)
I’m carrying a casket
There’s no other way (There’s no other way)
My heart’s so calloused
I’m broken, bruised and damaged
Gave up on feeling balanced
But dammit, that’s my baggage
Yeah, that’s my baggage

[Post-Chorus]
Na-na-na-na (My heavy, heavy, heavy)
Na-na-na-na (My heavy, heavy, heavy)
Na-na-na-na (My heavy, heavy, heavy)
Oh yeah
Na-na-na-na (My heavy, heavy, heavy)
Na-na-na-na (My heavy, heavy, heavy)
Na-na-na-na (My heavy, heavy, heavy)
My heavy, heavy baggage
