Smith & Myers Debut Billie Eilish “Bad Guy” Cover And New Single “Bad At Love,” Announce Double Album

Smith & Myers have debuted their new single “Bad At Love” and an impressive cover of Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” on Friday (Sept. 25).

The duo released dual singles will be featured on their newly-announced full-length album, Smith & Myers Volume 2, out October 23 via Atlantic Records, which will follow the release of Volume 1 on October 9.

“‘Bad At Love’ was one of the very first original songs to be written for the project,” Brent Smith shares. “I think ultimately the song was born from my own romantic relationships. When I love someone, I love them fully, and sometimes the passion can be too much. I always know when it’s time to move on. That being said, I am extremely grateful that I am still very good friends with the ladies I have loved, and still love, to this day.”

Zach Myers says “Bad At Love was one of the first original songs we wrote for this album … lyrically Brent was writing about things in his life that maybe we wouldn’t really touch on with Shinedown and I think it came out to be an incredibly naked and honest song. And I think ‘Bad Guy’ turned out very cool – it’s a nice bluesy version of the song.”

The new songs and the announcement of Volume 2 comes on the heels of Smith & Myers’ recent release of their original single “Not Mad Enough,” which was written in the immediate aftermath of George Floyd’s death, expressing the intense emotions that followed and laying bare a plea for racial justice through direct and urgent lyrics over acoustic guitar.
