"'Reckless'" is a song by American singer Madison Beer, released on June 4, 2021, through Epic and Sing It Loud, It was originally intended to be the lead single from Beer's upcoming second studio album, however in one of her instagram live sessions she confirmed that it wasnt the lead single, but instead Dangerous was. She stated that it could possibly still make the album, because her and her team like it so much, but she isnt sure. The track was written and produced by Madison Beer, Leroy Clampitt, and Kinetics & One Love's Tim Sommers, with Kinetics & One Love's Jeremy Dussolliet also receiving writing credits.
Background
Madison Beer released her debut album titled 'Life Support' in early 2021. Days before the release of 'Life Support', Beer revealed that she was already half way through the new record, and would eventually head herself to a writing camp to finish the new album, with the same songwriters and producers, with whom she worked on her debut.
Composition
According to Beer, "Reckless" is about "how easy it is for some people in relationships to hurt others and move on without any guilt". She both co-wrote and co-produced the single.
Critical reception
'Reckless' was met with critical acclaim upon its release. 'Clash' called the song "...a wonderfully adult piece of pop songwriting." 'Hypebae' said the song "demonstrat[es] her signature soothing vocals."
Music video
The music video was released on June 29, 2021. It depicts Beer in a fairytale-like world where she climbs a ladder to get to the top of a stack of giant books; stands on the top of a car as it drives itself through a tunnel; and swims in an ocean with book pages in it.
