Mckenna Grace celebrates her 18th birthday with the release of the pop/punk inspired single “LOSER!!” Produced by David Burris and co-written by Mckenna Grace, David Burris, and Kella Armitage, the angst-filled track perfectly blends the inner dialogue and social awkwardness that fans have come to expect and love from Mckenna Grace.
Along with the single, McKenna shared a music video inspired by her high school prom. Directed by Justin Mitchell and Lottie Abrahams, the video humorously captures the essence of prom night, complete with McKenna decked out in corsages and electric guitars. The video explores all the typical prom night emotions, from anxiety and excitement to friendship. Short cutscenes showcase intimate girl-on-girl conversations in the bathroom, playful antics in the backseat of a limo, and conclude with a joyous celebration of embracing one’s inner “loser.”
In releasing the track, McKenna explains that she wrote it about feeling like a loser, a wannabe, and someone who doesn’t have originality. “I wanted to write something fun and rocky, because that’s where my heart is in music,” McKenna says. “It’s self-conscious and playful, and it’s about me wanting to be a cool ’90s rock girl.”
The line, “I’m going to rot on the couch thinking about everything that’s not me,” is literal. I broke my heart, got sick, and spent a week sitting on the couch crying while watching “The Bachelor.”

“Then I went into the studio and wrote this,” McKenna continued. “I hope you guys love it as much as I do (and sorry to my grandpa for swearing at my music again!!!).”
“LOSER!!” is Mckenna’s third single released in 2024, “Natalie” and “Gentleman”. This track and her acclaimed 2023 five-track mini-EP ‘Maple‘ showcases her evolving artistry and a steady stream of new music.
