Wikipedia article




"'People, I've Been Sad'" (stylized in sentence case or sometimes as "'People, I've been Sad'") is a song by French singer and songwriter Christine and the Queens. The song was released to digital retailers on 5 February 2020 and to American adult alternative radio on 17 February 2020. The song features lyrics in both English and French. Christine performed the song on the 'Together at Home' concert pre-show, as well as on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert'.

Critical reception



Kory Grow of 'Rolling Stone' compared the song to her previous single "Girlfriend" and commented on the layered emotions of the song. They pointed out that while the song is shockingly direct and features "a starkness here that hasn't been as pronounced in some of her previous songs", Christine sings these honest lyrics with a sense of ennui. Stacy Anderson from 'Pitchfork' called it "genuine and striking" and praised its intimate nature.

Accolades

"People, I've Been Sad" was named the best song of 2020 by 'Paste' and 'Time', the second best song by 'NPR' and 'Pitchfork', the third by 'The Guardian' and 'Rolling Stone', and the sixth by 'Crack Magazine'. The song was also included on 'NME's year-end list at number 11, 'Consequence's at 21, 'Billboard's at 22, and 'Vice's at 52.
