Mckenna Grace is seeing red on her new single, "Ugly and Rotten."
The singer-songwriter and Emmy-nominated actress returned with her first solo release in more than two years, delivering a punchy alt-pop anthem packed with raw emotion and sharp-edged attitude. The track embraces the chaos, frustration and vulnerability that can come with growing up, breaking down and rebuilding yourself.
Grace opened up about her love for making music in a statement, sharing, "Music is something that has always been cathartic and challenges my creativity in different ways. I love being in the studio - it gives me the opportunity to turn quiet moments, emotions and feelings into something that people can enjoy - and that's one of the best feelings. It's fun getting to be angry and rock out."
Alongside the release, Grace dropped a music video that matches the song's chaotic energy and unapologetic attitude. The video leans into the same chaos and emotion that drive the track, bringing "Ugly and Rotten" to life on screen.
"Ugly and Rotten" offers the first glimpse at a new wave of music from Grace, with more releases expected throughout the year.
