Singer/songwriter AJ Mitchell releases new single, “Foolish.” Produced and co-written with frequent collaborator Kid Culture (Justin Bieber, Eddie Benjamin), the track follows previously released single “Passionate,” both tracks are off Mitchell’s sophomore album As Far As The Eye Can See set for a May 3rd release.
In Mitchell’s own words:
I wrote ‘Foolish’ in the midst of being in a relationship that I knew wasn’t good for me. It’s a conversation with myself- I was aware of the fact that the relationship would do me more harm than good, but the feelings were overpowering. ‘Foolish’ is about giving in to things that feel good even if you know they’re ultimately going to end in heartbreak. It’s human.
The music video for “Foolish” conveys this emotional despair, depicting Mitchell wandering through water and wilderness, presumably in search of answers to his emotional conundrum. The love interest in question makes quick and fleeting appearances, suggesting that Mitchell is still beholden to her, even as he recognizes the potential error in his ways.
