Trailblazing musician and viral sensation corook is back and unapologetically themselves with the release of their defiant queer anthem, “THEY!,” available now via Atlantic Records HERE, alongside an official lyric video now streaming HERE. Already a fan favorite with the viral TikTok teaser now boasting more than 1.5M views and over 6M views across posts, “THEY!” is the last song to be released ahead of the pop artist’s debut album, committed to a bit, arriving on Friday, February 28. Album pre-saves are available now HERE.
After sharing a snippet of “THEY!” in response to the Trump administration’s harmful policies and agenda towards the LGBTQ+ community, the song quickly resonated with viewers for its message of acceptance and inclusivity, garnering the attention of the Human Rights Campaign and celebrities including Jonathan Van Ness, Meaghan Trainor and Justin Bieber. A video of corook chanting “THEY/THEM ENERGY!” along with the audience has added to the virality with various TikToks of the same video amassing over 20M combined views and 4M likes, (see HERE) including a post from Troye Sivan.
“‘THEY!’ is my favorite track from the ‘committed to a bit’ album,” says corook. “I wrote it to capture the mix of nerves and joy that comes with sharing your new pronouns with the world. In a time when our identities are under constant attack, especially with figures like Trump attempting to legislate us out of existence, this song feels more vital than ever.”
committed to a bit will also include singles, “crumbs,” “ballerina“ and “blankets,” all available now alongside corook’s committed to a bit video series, streaming now at YouTube. The deeply personal series officially kicked off last summer with the premiere of committed to a bit (episode 1), directed by frequent visual collaborator Luke Harvey (Mason Ramsey, Jukebox the Ghost) and streaming now HERE.
Currently boasting a combined social following of more than 1.5M, over 24M video views, and worldwide streams in excess of 116M, corook will celebrate committed to a bit with their biggest North American headline run thus far. The committed to a bit tour begins March 3 at Philadelphia, PA’s The Foundry at The Fillmore and then travels into early April.

“blankets” marked corook’s first new release since last year’s two-part serious person project, highlighted by the viral smash, “if i were a fish (ft. olivia barton).” Co-written with their partner and fellow musician Olivia Barton as a spontaneous response to internet hate, the track came together in ten minutes before it was posted to TikTok where it instantly received an outpouring of love and support, earning 19.5M views, 2.9M likes and 388K shares and counting. corook and Olivia quickly recorded a full version of “if I were a fish,” which proved their biggest streaming debut to date with over 28M global audio streams and counting. The track – which was celebrated with high-profile media coverage spanning NPR, Rolling Stone, New York Times, Boston Globe, and more – was joined by an official music video, now boasting over 2.5M views HERE. corook and Barton also wrote a delightful picture book adaptation of If I Were A Fish, which was brightly and beautifully illustrated by the award-winning Mike Curato.
serious person (part 1) and serious person (part 2) went on to garner critical acclaim from Billboard, Alternative Press, UPROXX and more. corook celebrated with a full US and UK headline run including sold-out shows at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom, L.A.’s The Roxy, and London’s XOYO, along with special performances at Austin, TX’s Austin City Limits Music Festival, Brandi Carlile’s Girls Just Wanna Weekend, and Seattle, WA’s Capitol Hill Block Party.
It’s time we explore the parts that make up the whole of Corinne Savage. Particularly, the parts that have been exploited and commercialized in their life. Not just since they have become “corook,” but since they were a kid. Think of it almost as an origin story – exploring gender identity, family tension, and queer love wrapped in a new elevated pop sound. The songs keep their heart wrenching storytelling and catchy melodies accompanied by a vocal delivery reminiscent of Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.
So will Corinne break out of family patterns and the desire to please everyone but themself? Will corook conquer all and headline Coachella? FIND OUT NEXT WEEK ON “COROOK”!!!!!
