Los Angeles-based songwriter, producer, and mixing engineer Esthy delivers a stunning piece of glossy, emotionally charged pop with her new single, “Bad Habit.” Released on June 6, 2026, the track captures the exhausting push and pull of a relationship you know you should leave behind but simply cannot. Blending deeply personal lyrics with sleek modern production, Esthy explores the addictive cycle of going back to someone who keeps letting you down. She crafts a relatable song for anyone who has tried to walk away from the wrong person.
“Bad Habit” stands out as a late-night anthem, inspired by glowing city lights and atmospheric midnight drives. Esthy creates a skillful mix of musical styles that drives the track’s emotional energy. The production begins with a stripped-back, intimate verse that highlights her vulnerable storytelling and close vocal delivery, immediately drawing the listener into her world. This calm foundation quickly gives way to layered instrumentation, building into a powerful, anthemic crescendo. Over this arrangement floats an incredibly catchy, polished pop chorus, supported by warm synth tones and an upbeat groove that balances genuine heartbreak with commercial appeal.
What makes this release truly special is that Esthy wrote, produced, and mixed the entire song herself. Strong lines like “You’re my bad habit, I keep falling back in it, God I hate it” highlight the heavy emotional contradictions at the song’s core. By transforming real-life heartbreak and obsession into a cinematic pop landscape, Esthy shows that she is a formidable independent artist capable of delivering chart-worthy tracks with a genuine indie spirit.
