Swedish experimental pop musician and producer Thea Gustafsson (aka Becky and the Birds) shared her self-produced debut album, Only music makes me cry now, in November 2024.

After recently being named Producer of the Year at the 2025 Swedish Grammis, she now returns a new track entitled ‘Should’ve known better (choices)’ — a thematic companion to the Only music makes me cry now track ‘I look at the choices i made’, the new single highlights Gustafsson’s unique, current, and boundless production style via a daring yet synergetic combination of 90s alt-R&B flow, gritty Timbaland beats, and bright accordion passages, provided by her father.  The track additionally arrives alongside an accompanying cinematic music video directed by the Swedish creative team ph-any (Patricia Aliaga Devall & Hedvig Moberg).
