Alt-rock/pop artist Towa Bird releases her new single, ‘Rat Race,’ via Interscope Records.

Fueled by Bird’s urgent guitar and rapid-fire vocal delivery, the track bristles with punk-pop fervor. “Bang bang and I’m off to the races,” she sings, finding both humor and frustration in the realization that chasing her dreams can feel a lot like “chasing my tail.” She wrote the song with Tyler Cole (WILLOW, Weezer) and Mattias Tellez (girl in red, Gracie Abrams). ‘Rat Race’ is the first new music from Bird since the summer release of her acclaimed debut album, American Hero.

“‘Rat Race’ is about the feeling of being trapped in a cycle where your progress never seems to lead to full satisfaction,” explains Towa Bird. “You work tirelessly, pushing toward what seems like the finish line. But as you approach it, it moves slightly out of reach, keeping you perpetually in the race. There’s always more to achieve, more to do. This relentless machine doesn’t pause for you to look up and enjoy your victories. It offers just enough to keep you hooked, only to snatch it away, leaving you craving more.”
