Gracie Abrams is apparently not interested in keeping up appearances. On her new single \u201cLook at My Life,\u201d the second offering from her forthcoming third album Daughter from Hell<\/a>, the singer\/songwriter pairs existential panic with a visual that quite literally sets the world around her on fire.<\/p>\n

The Mitch Ryan-directed video for \u201cLook at My Life,\u201d out now via Interscope, finds Abrams drifting through a series of increasingly surreal Americana tableaux: wandering an empty dance studio, lingering in a convenience store parking lot and traversing a rural landscape while a massive dumpster fire blazes behind her. Later, she takes a baseball bat to a room full of mirrors, shattering her own reflection as the song\u2019s spiraling self-examination reaches its climax. By the video\u2019s end, she has escaped the chaos altogether by floating away in a hot air balloon.<\/p>\n

Lyrically, Abrams dispenses with the carefully curated image-making of social media culture in favor of something far messier. \u201cDo I look high functioning? \/ Is my facade crumbling?\u201d she asks at one point, before delivering the song\u2019s devastating thesis statement: \u201cLook at my life \/ Bet you can\u2019t tell, but it\u2019s kind of a bad time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The track arrives one month after lead single \u201cHit the Wall,\u201d which marked the beginning of the Daughter from Hell era and helped launch Abrams\u2019 biggest streaming debut to date. The song amassed early 4 million Spotify streams in its first 24 hours and more than 88 million overall streams since release. The album was co-written and produced by the National\u2019s Aaron Dessner, with whom Abrams has enjoyed massive success in recent years.<\/p>\n

Dessner wrote on Instagram<\/a> that \u201cLife\u201d was one of the first songs he and Abrams crafted for Daughter from Hell in the winter of 2025 when his Long Pond studio in upstate New York \u201cwas snow bound and Gracie was still very much on tour for The Secret of Us. We didn\u2019t really know if we were even making a record. It wasn\u2019t until much later that we realized it was an important piece of an interrelated puzzle we had to dive very deep to unlock. [The song] feels like a manic sprint through an existential crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abrams will support Daughter from Hell with an extensive international tour<\/a> beginning Dec. 2-3 in Denver.<\/p>\n
