Jenna Raine isn't afraid to call it like she sees it in "Fumbled the Bag," a scorching kiss-off to an ex. "What if you got it all wrong and I was the one all along?/ Hate to say I told you so, but baby, ain't it sad?/ You fumbled the bag," she sings in the chorus.
In this episode of Press Play at Home, Raine debuts her new tell-it-like-it-is anthem with help from her acoustic guitar, sitting against a sunny waterfront backdrop. The stripped-back performance puts the focus on the song's message, which doesn't hold back from telling an ex they're at fault.
The singer/songwriter says that "Fumbled the Bag" was inspired by two close friends who went through breakups right before the summer. In writing it, she wanted to point the finger at the guys who broke their hearts, and let them know that they'll regret their decisions about ending their relationships.
Raine — a former member of girl group L2M, who pursued a solo career after they disbanded — is no stranger to upbeat and empowering messaging that supports other women. Previous releases like "Not Again" and her February EP, See You Later, hone in on music's ability to bring healing and connection.
In her songwriting, she borrows from her own life and the lives of her friends, but she also draws inspiration from suggestions sent in by fans. "My goal is to provide a safe space for my listeners!" Raine explains, according to People. "So, I will continue to write songs that will help others feel accepted, heard and less lonely. I love writing songs about my own life, but I also enjoy getting song suggestions from my fans. It really helps me connect with people. So please send your ideas/requests my way!"
"Fumbled the Bag" will officially be released on Sept. 2. Pre-save the song here, watch her performance above, and keep checking back to GRAMMY.com for more episodes of Press Play at Home.
