Waxahatchee Hunts Bygones on ‘Much Ado About Nothing’

The single is the first of new music from the artist since the release of 2024’s Tigers Blood

Waxahatchee ruminates the past in her poignant new single, “Much Ado About Nothing.” The song marks her first musical offering following the release of her 2024 album, Tigers Blood, in March.

The opening verse sees the artist, whose real name is Katie Crutchfield, declare, “You stare directly in my eyes because you are brave/You drive around in circles talking yourself out of rushing/And I sit alone and wait so patient, much ado about nothing.”

The track poses several opposing sentiments as Crutchfield sings “Always the easiest to love and hardest to claim,” and admit, “Tell you to lose my number, and then I call you twice.” As the song concludes, she confesses: “I leave every light on, hunting bygones/Play it off like I’m cynica, but I sweat and I swear/Say a prayer, stare at your picture, it’s visceral and it’s crushing.”

Crutchfield’s latest track arrives alongside a video directed by Anna St. Louis. In a Rolling Stone review of Tigers Blood, music writer Rob Sheffield called the singer-songwriters a “master storyteller” who is “fully aware she’s on a hot streak.” He continued, “She sings about adult romance, struggling for sobriety, the day-to-day work of holding it together—in the poetic voice of a Lucinda Williams who came of age playing DIY punk-house basement shows.”

Later this month, Crutchfield will visit CBS Saturday Morning on Oct. 12 and perform three songs from her latest album.
