Sabina Beyli faces the chaos with massive single, “Bad Habits” - Interview
Sabina Beyli is fast emerging as one of the most exciting young voices in alt-pop-rock, and her latest single, “Bad Habits,” solidifies that momentum with thrilling force. At just 22, she’s already figured out how to channel chaos into catharsis, turning self-reflection and emotional unrest into something both deeply personal and wildly anthemic. Out October 24, 2025, the track feels like a breakthrough moment, a fearless and unfiltered confession that hits as hard emotionally as it does sonically.
From its opening moments, “Bad Habits” announces itself with raw immediacy. A moody, restless instrumental gives way to a thick, swirling blend of guitars and electronic textures that pulse with tension. Beyli’s voice cuts through the mix with razor clarity; strong, emotive, and laced with just enough vulnerability to make every lyric feel like a journal entry cracked open. The song thrives on contrast: soft introspection colliding with massive, cathartic choruses, quiet moments dissolving into sonic storms.
Produced by Mike Midura and co-written with longtime collaborator Kate J. Brink, the track showcases a masterful balance between polish and grit. There’s a clear alt-rock backbone, one that nods to the dark, cinematic power of Evanescence and the brooding mystique of Deftones, yet Beyli’s melodic instincts keep it rooted firmly in the pop world. The result is genre-bending without ever feeling forced. Her songwriting feels instinctive, even primal, as she moves between confession and confrontation.
At its core, “Bad Habits” is about relapse, not just in behavior, but in mindset. It’s a song about the pull of self-sabotage, the pressure of perfectionism, and the guilt that follows when you slip back into patterns you thought you’d outgrown. Beyli captures that internal tug-of-war with devastating precision, using her voice like an instrument of emotional clarity. Every syllable rings with the weight of lived experience.
The production elevates her storytelling, layering atmospheric guitars and driving percussion in ways that mirror her lyrical tension. When the chorus hits, it’s explosive, not in volume alone, but in release. It’s the sound of letting go, even if just for a moment.
Throughout our conversation with Beyli, what stood out most was her commitment to honesty, in both her art and her process. She spoke passionately about experimenting with genre boundaries, about wanting to bring this song to the stage where its energy could truly erupt, and about the catharsis of creating something that feels “as messy as real life.”
“Bad Habits” captures all of that and more. It’s a darkly beautiful, emotionally charged anthem that cements Sabina Beyli as a voice to watch. The song is officially out on 10/24, but in the meantime, you’d be a fool not to click those links below to check out the rest of her music and of course to follow along for everything else in the works!
