The Pretty Reckless have dropped a brand-new single, Love Me.

Following the brilliant When I Wake Up – and its rowdy, NSFW accompanying music video – the next preview from the band’s fifth album Dear God is another hard-hitting affair, as Taylor Momsen sings, ‘In my depression I will lie / So I can pretend I’m fine / And in my obsession, I will die…’ in the opening lyrics, before the belting chorus of, ‘So why doesn’t anyone / Love me / Love me / I just need someone to / Want me / Why doesn’t anyone care / Why won’t you answer my prayer?’

Dear God – the follow-up to 2021’s Death By Rock And Roll – is due out on June 26, and earlier this month Taylor told Loudwire Nights that, “This album has an honesty and a brutality to it that is something that I’m really proud of. It almost has this feel of it [being] directly ripped out of my diary. You’re really getting the inside of how my mind works on this one.”
