"Reckless" is a song by American singer Madison Beer. It was released on June 4, 2021 by Epic and Sing It Loud as the lead single from her second studio album, Silence Between Songs (2023). The track was written and produced by Madison Beer, Leroy Clampitt, and Kinetics & One Love's Tim Sommers, with Kinetics & One Love's Jeremy Dussolliet also receiving writing credits.
According to Beer, "Reckless" is about "how easy it is for some people in relationships to hurt others and move on without any guilt". She both co-wrote and co-produced the single.[1]
Reckless was met with positive reviews upon its release. Clash called the song "...a wonderfully adult piece of pop songwriting."[2] Hypebae said the song "demonstrat[es] her signature soothing vocals."[3]
The music video was released on June 29, 2021. It depicts Beer in a fairytale-like world where she climbs a ladder to get to the top of a stack of giant books; stands on the top of a car as it drives itself through a tunnel; and swims in an ocean with book pages in it.
