Today, multi-hyphenate rising star Huddy marks his long-awaited musical return with the release of new single “Mugshot” available now on all platforms via The Orchard – LISTEN HERE. The track marks the singer-songwriter’s first of the year and is a fun, sexy, raucous romp that explores the risky and thrill-seeking side of relationships that can be alluring. “Mugshot” sets the stage for his upcoming project showcasing a new, fun, free-spirited pop-leaning sound from the 21-year-old who already has an iHeartRadio Award nomination, 150 million streams, and 50 million combined social media followers to his name.
Co-produced and co-written by Boys Like Girls lead singer Martin Johnson, “Mugshot” arrives today alongside an accompanying video featuring Huddy and his model girlfriend Chiara Hovland being intimate and affectionate as implied in the cover art – WATCH HERE.
Speaking on the release of his first single of the year, Huddy shares, “Mugshot is the song that marks the beginning of a new story, a new sound, and a new narrative. This song embodies the idea that love can be crazy and disruptive, and still find its way into your life – the idea of being in love with someone that’s bad for you and how it can make you feel.
I wrote this song the day after I watched Bonnie & Clyde for the first time, and the movie reminded me of what that type of love feels like in real life and in a theatrical way as well. I hope you listen and get a glimpse of the feelings of love I meant to express, and love it as much as I do.”
“Mugshot” is the follow-up to Huddy’s single of 2023, “Slowly Healing”, which marked the first release since his breakthrough viral hit “All the Things I Hate About You.” Released in July 2022, the song skyrocketed to #1 on YouTube, TikTok, and Genius’ Trending Charts, surpassed one billion views on TikTok, and became Huddy’s first entry on the Pop and Alternative radio charts.
