After nearly a decade away from releasing new material, The Band Perry has officially returned. The group, now featuring Kimberly Perry and Johnny Costello, drops “PSYCHOLOGICAL” today, marking the start of what they describe as a new era.
A Dark and Twisted Love Story
“PSYCHOLOGICAL” unfolds as a dramatic, obsessive love story set to a gothic waltz. The track opens with a simple piano riff before building into a bold, country-rock chorus. Kimberly Perry’s distinctive voice leads the way, delivering vivid and unsettling lines:
I heard you like Nirvana, so I listen all night while I sleep
I’ve memorized ten songs ‘cuz, you might ask me if I can name three
Started drinking Jack even though I hate whiskey
I’d fake my own death just to see if you’d miss me
I drive by the house that one day will be ours
Do you think I’m taking this too far? (No)
Written by Clara Park, Grace Tyler, and Colton Venner, the single leans into theatrical intensity. The chorus surges forward under the polished country-rock production of Dann Huff, a GRAMMY, CMA, and ACM Award winner:
‘Cuz you make crazy seem rational
I’d say obsession feels natural
You’re all I want, any hoop any obstacle
Boy you make going psycho logical
Listen Now
A New Chapter Begins
For Kimberly Perry, stepping back into the band carries both familiarity and momentum. “Stepping back into The Band Perry with Johnny by my side feels like coming home and starting a brand new adventure all at once,” she shares. “We wanted our first song of Season 2 of The Band Perry to be the perfect blend of nostalgia – everything our fans know and love TBP to be – and authentically reflective of where we are here in 2026. It’s loud, it’s passionate, it’s devoted, it’s delusional. It is quintessentially ‘us.’”
The single heads to country radio on February 17, the same day the band performs it for the first time on national television on Live with Kelly & Mark.

A Legacy of Reinvention
Since breaking through with their RIAA Diamond-certified hit “If I Die Young,” The Band Perry has built a reputation for bold artistic shifts and genre-blending sound. Over the course of two albums and more than a decade, the band has sold 2.5 million albums and 12 million singles while surpassing one billion streams.
With six No. 1 singles, multiple Platinum and Gold certifications, and sold-out tours around the world, the group’s Appalachian gothic edge and emotionally charged storytelling have remained central to their identity. Their 2025 return closes a lengthy hiatus and signals the start of their next chapter.
“PSYCHOLOGICAL” is available now and officially impacts country radio on February 17.
