NEW MUSIC: TEGAN & SARA | F*CKING UP WHAT MATTERS

Tegan And Sara have shared a new single and video, “Fucking Up What Matters.” Since signing to a new label, Mom+Pop Music, the track marks their first music. Co-produced by John Congleton, the song addresses the “turbulence” the twin sibling musicians have gone through and grown from alongside the worldwide challenges of the last couple of years, per a statement. Despite the heavier themes inspired by trying times, the song is an exuberant power-pop jam, which features the duo’s signature unison singing and catchy refrains. The accompanying Tony Wolski-directed video features the musicians Railey and Seazynn Gilliland. They star in the upcoming Amazon Freevee "High School" series based on Tegan and Sara’s memoir. Executive-produced by Tegan and Sara, the show is currently in production in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Tegan Quin explained the meaning behind the song, saying, “‘Fucking Up What Matters' felt like an ode to the moment in your life when you realize that you have most, if not all, of the things you wanted, and you start to think about what would happen if you just walked away from it all. It’s the moment in the middle of the night when you start to daydream about something else, something you never imagined. It’s the feeling you have when you think you might have hit a new low, and yet you’ve never felt so good. Sometimes it’s admitting that you can’t stop yourself from fucking up what matters, that you feel your strongest. And as my mom would say, it’s often when we’re fucking up what matters that we’re learning the most about ourselves.”
