On April 17, the record-breaking rock band The Pretty Reckless released the third single from their upcoming, highly anticipated fifth studio album, DEAR GOD. The track, titled “Love Me” (listen HERE), continues to build on their bold, gritty sound, with their signature explosive guitar work and Taylor Momsen’s powerful vocals. The song, produced by Taylor Momsen, Ben Phillips, and Jonathan Wyman, is an emotionally charged track with a sound that feels both refined and hard-hitting.
The song following the album introduction, “When I Wake Up,” is currently entering No. 10 on the Mediabase Active Rock chart and reaching No. 16 on Billboard Mainstream Rock. DEAR GOD leans into vulnerability, intensity, and is one of the band’s most raw and uncompromising releases to date.
Momsen about the song: “‘Love Me’ came from a place I didn’t want to admit I was in. There’s this moment in your life where you’re so hollowed out that you start bargaining with God, not even for happiness, just for proof that someone sees you. That’s what this song is. It’s not pretty. It’s not wrapped up. It’s just a raw, ugly need, and I think that’s exactly why people connect with it.”
