Petey USA Finds Comfort In ‘Breathing The Same Air’ On His New Single

Petey USA is a month out from the release of his new album, The Yips, his second release for Capitol Records. Before that, though, he has a new single, “Breathing The Same Air.”

On the narrative track, Petey tells the story of a night out with a friend and having trouble communicating, singing, “And know that my only intention is to be there when you call me / Sometimes breathing the same air has gotta be enough.”

Petey previously said of the album, “The album’s about going through a period where just nothing’s clicking, so you go to a bar where everyone can collect themselves and get drunk. […] I don’t want to get into the toxic part of masculinity, but I also want to avoid the other side of it that weaponizes therapy-talk. I’m just singing about being there for your friends.”
