Carson Cruz has released his new single, Private Fool, now streaming on Spotify. The mid-tempo track tells the story of being in love with someone who doesn’t care, yet keeps the attention going through teasing and mixed signals. The lyrics describe the frustration of being made a fool of, while still being unable to walk away from the situation. It’s about wishful thinking in a one-sided relationship that will never happen. Private Fool would fit well on playlists like Chill Pop, Pop Rising, Fresh Finds Pop, Heartbreak Pop, Indie Pop & Chill, Late Night Vibes, and Bedroom Pop. Carson would also be a good match to tour with artists such as Lauv, Jeremy Zucker, Alexander 23, Chelsea Cutler, Conan Gray, Troye Sivan, and Gracie Abrams.
