Tissues (song)

Last updated

I remember when we were making it I was like, "I just want to dance!" I remember we were writing in the studio and the session wasn't going well it was midnight. I was thinking about packing it in and going home but then we opened a crate of Bud Light, started putting songs on that we loved and this came on [Close To Me], and I was just like, "Yo, we should sample this," and every producer in the studio was like, "No, but the publishing," and I'm like, "Shut up about the publishing, get it off iTunes, cut it up, and loop it... let's go." That's what I said to them; I was like, "If I can somehow convince Robert Smith to allow me to do this, I don't care. Like, I've won." It was beautiful. I just wanted to make music that me and my mates want to listen to. That was the formula. And obviously we grew up with this song.

Live performances

Yungblud debuted the song as part of his set at the 2022 Glastonbury Festival alongside other new tracks "I Cry 2" and "The Funeral". [3] The song was performed as part of his halftime show at the NFL London Games on 3 October 2022 held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Music video

The song's video was released on 2 September 2022. It was filmed in London, directed by Charlie Sarsfield and features Yungblud dancing through various scenes while other people are frozen in time. As the song reaches the final chorus, the frozen people join him in a joyous, energetic choreographed dance routine. [8] In a statement on the video, Yungblud explained “This is a new era for Yungblud. I wanted to dance, I wanted to move, and I wanted to really personify in the video what this song means. It's happiness and it's euphoria and it's letting the fuck go.” [9]
