Drunk calls. Crying in the dark. Lingering heartbreak. Conan Gray’s new single “Vodka Cranberry” isn’t just a song—it’s a full-blown emotional unraveling, and fans are already bracing themselves for what’s coming next.
Set to appear on his upcoming album Wishbone, out next month, “Vodka Cranberry” is a gut-punch of a track. It captures the worst kind of heartbreak—the kind that doesn't come with clean endings. “Got way too drunk off a vodka cranberry / Called you up in the middle of the night / Wailing like an imbecile,” Conan sings, with a brutal honesty that makes you want to hug him… and maybe text your therapist.
The music video, a direct continuation of “This Song,” is cinematic sadness at its finest: dim lights, late-night phone calls, aching silences. It’s not just a visual—it’s a feeling you’ve had at 2 a.m. but never had the words for.
What makes this moment even more powerful is the backstory. Conan confessed that Wishbone wasn’t even meant to be an album. These songs were written in secret—scribbled in journals, whispered in hotel beds between tour stops, kept from his own label and friends. “I didn’t know I was making anything,” he wrote. “And I had no plan to release any of it.”
That’s what makes Wishbone feel different. It’s not calculated. It’s not curated. It’s honest. And if “Vodka Cranberry” is any sign, it’s going to be messy, heart-wrenching, and incredibly, unapologetically real.
So if you’ve ever cried over someone who never gave you closure, or spiraled after a drink or three—this one’s for you. And Wishbone? That might just be the album we didn’t know we needed this year.
