Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Ryan Wright Releases New Song “Quarter Life Crisis”
Virginia-based singer-songwriter Ryan Wright released a new song “Quarter Life Crisis” on April 26, 2024.
The song follows up “What's Not to Love” and “BLEED”, and also will appear on her upcoming EP, which is set to be released this summer.
It was written by Ben Tsakopulos, Ryan Wright, and Todd Wright. Produced by Ethan Mentzer, Ryan Wright, and Todd Wright.
The track features a crossover between the grunge production of the 90s and the very female led category of bubblegum pop, and is the anthem for the trials and tribulations of aging.
Ryan Wright said of the song, “Quarter Life Crisis is the very essence of what it feels like to be in your early 20s to mid thirties. Although the age gap is vast, the feelings are mutual because in reality it’s not easy to become an independent adult. The song nurtures the very real feelings of the fear of becoming an adult and falling further and further away from youth. The song has a bit of longing that still clings to the urge to act young and dumb like you did as a teenager, but you’re stuck in your twenties feeling like your life is maturing way faster than you are. Quarter Life Crisis is the anthem for the trials and tribulations of aging.”- The new EP is her first project since the 2023 album “Girl in the Attic”, and the theme of pessimism rings throughout all of the songs.
She said of the EP, “All of the lyrics are about conflicted feelings of wanting the good but hoping for the worst at the same time, wanting to feel secure in your relationships and in yourself, but also craving the drama and the downfalls; the trials and tribulations of a narcissist.” -
