Meg Mac Returns With Stunning New Single 'Is It Worth Being Sad'

Meg Mac has burst back onto the scene with bold new track Is It Worth Being Sad.

The stunning new single, produced by duo The Donuts (Kendrick Lamar, H.E.R.), expands on the singer’s previous efforts, exploring new territory both musically and lyrically, and promises very exciting things for Mac in 2022.

"I had just run away to the country," Mac said. "I was running away from my troubles. I was living in peace and quiet finally and really thought I'd figured it all out, and it was all smooth sailing ahead. It was the start of sorting out my life. This song was like my first step — I didn't know it then, though.

"I recorded myself singing the chords into the loop pedal. Once I had that going, I started humming over the top, trying to find a melody that I liked. As soon as I found the first line, I kept going with that mood."

Mac has also enlisted Dilly Gent, who has worked with Radiohead and Phoebe Bridgers, as Creative Director.
