"New Way Out" is a song by American singer Poppy. It was released by Sumerian Records on June 4, 2024, as the lead single from her upcoming sixth studio album. The song was written by Poppy, Stephen Harrison and its producer Jordan Fish.

Background

Following the release of her fifth studio album, Zig (2023), Poppy collaborated with the American bands Bad Omens and Knocked Loose on the two successful singles "V.A.N" and "Suffocate" respectively in 2024.[1] [2] [3] Shortly after, she revealed the cover art to a new solo single on her Instagram account. It was later announced one day before its release.[4] The song was co-written by Stephan Harrison, the former member of the American rock band Fever 333, who previously collaborated with Poppy on her 2019 single "Scary Mask" from her second extended play, Choke, and was produced by Bring Me the Horizon's former member Jordan Fish.[5] [6]

The song's visualizer was directed by Sam Cannon, and it has been compared by Hesher Keenan of MetalSucks to Alice in Wonderland due to the way Poppy was dressed, and the keyhole aesthetic.[7]

Composition

"New Way Out" is an industrial pop[8], hard rock[9] and pop metal[10] song that talks about self-growth and pulling oneself back from the edge.[11] It has been influenced by Madonna and Britney Spears.[10]

Commercial performance

"New Way Out" premiered on BBC Radio 1 when it was released.[12] The song peaked at number 35 on the Mainstream Rock chart. It became her second song to enter the Rock Airplay chart after "V.A.N", which peaked at number nine.[13]
