sad day

On the slow-burning "Sad Day," FKA Twigs tries to salvage a broken relationship. Take a chance on all the things you can't see Make a wish on all that lives within thee If you're foolishly in love with me It's a fine day for sure Twigs is full of regret for making her lover sad in the past, but pines for him to give her another chance.

Twigs released the song on November 4, 2019. She first teased the track two months before during an interview with I-D Magazine when she told the publication: "It's all on the same note, it's creepy. It's asking, in the monotony of your life, would you take a chance on someone for something bigger? Would you take a risk on love and possibly being hurt again?"

You're running And I tried to make it work before You're running I made you sad before The Magdalene album arrived at the end of a tumultuous five-year period that saw Twigs battling ill health and the breakdown of her high-profile relationship with Twilight actor Robert Pattinson. The theme of heartbreak is central to the set; the singer told Apple Music's Zane Lowe that this song's bridge is the most emotional part of the record for her.
