Beabadoobee, one of the UK’s most exciting recent breakthrough artists, today shares ‘How Was Your Day?’, the latest cut from her debut album Fake It Flowers.
The track is an ode to the acoustic sounds of Bea’s earlier EPs and was recorded on a four-track cassette recorder in her boyfriend’s garden when her studio was closed towards the beginning of the pandemic. The lofi video also calls back to her earlier collaborations with bedroom, who directed the nostalgia-tinged video made up of footage of Bea and her loved ones together over the past few months.
“How Was Your Day is a track that explores all the relationships I neglected when I was away from home” Bea explains, “I wanted to emphasise the rawness of the lyrics with the song sonically which is why I recorded it on a four-track with all the little mistakes and vocal wobbles included. I wanted the music video to feel nostalgic to me, to include all the people I cared about, it took me back to the time I first started making music.”
‘How Was Your Day?’ is the latest single from Beabadoobee’s highly anticipated upcoming debut album Fake It Flowers, out October 16th via Dirty Hit. It follows recent single ‘Worth It’, ‘Care’, which has since been streamed almost four million times, and ‘Sorry’, described by The Guardian as a “masterfully restrained expression of regret, eventually pushing sardonic 90s alt-rock into the sky-splitting territory”.
Beabadoobee will also be playing a run of headline shows in 2021 to celebrate the release of her debut album next month. The Fake It Flowers tour will take place across the UK and Ireland in September and October next year, taking in 14 dates across the country, including a hometown show at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town. Tickets are on sale now.

Born in the Philippines and raised in London, Bea Kristi began recording music as Beabadoobee in 2017. At just 20 years old, Beabadoobee has built her huge, dedicated Gen-Z fan base with her flawless output of confessional bedroom pop songs and DIY aesthetic. Her first track, ‘Coffee’ gathered hundreds of thousands of streams in a matter of days, through a fan-uploaded video, and has since taken on new life as a sample in Powfu’s TikTok and worldwide chart-dominating hit.
Earlier this year Bea took to the road on a UK arena tour with labelmates The 1975, including two sold out shows at London’s O2 arena. The end of 2019 also saw her tour the US with Clairo, headline the sold out Dirty Hit Tour and release her acclaimed third EP Space Cadet, the follow up 2018’s Dirty Hit debut Patched Up and her stardom cementing Loveworm. Her highly anticipated debut album Fake It Flowers is out on October 16th.
