Common People have been building momentum fast, and “Dear Worry” is their most emotionally direct statement yet. The Los Angeles indie rockers’ new single is out now via Parallel Vision/Big Loud Rock, a hopeful, introspective track produced by Cage The Elephant’s Brad Shultz that arrives alongside a visualizer and the band’s debut EP ‘Games’.
Written by Nicky Winegardner and Konrad Ulich, the song captures the intense self-critical internal monologue that most people carry quietly through their days. Ulich frames it with deliberate honesty: “Dear Worry is a love letter to that voice in your head. An honest reflection on worry that is less so about overcoming negative emotions as it is learning to live with them.”
That approach, meeting anxiety with compassion rather than dismissal, gives the track a distinct emotional texture. It’s a reminder to extend yourself the same grace you’d give someone else, delivered over a sonic landscape that feels warm and searching rather than heavy.
Common People announced themselves in 2025 with breakout debut “Thank You,” which drew attention from Rolling Stone, Atwood Magazine, and Flaunt Magazine. Follow-up singles “Propaganda” and “Ready or Not” earned praise from Alternative Press and New Noise Magazine, while the band closed out the year supporting Cage The Elephant and The Criticals on select tour dates.
‘Games’ is out now on all digital platforms, with vinyl available for pre-order on the band’s website. A festival appearance at the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival on July 19 is still ahead.
