Rachel Platten – Bad Thoughts [Single + Video]

In “Bad Thoughts,” Rachel Platten continues the uplifting spirit of her previous works, such as “Fight Song,” by delivering pop-ballad rooted in encouragement. Her voice, crystalline and soaring above the piano, reminds us that the intrusive thoughts and the light-stealing anxiety we suffer through isn’t real and that we will all be alright. The song is a bit repetitive but the repetition in the song mirrors the often endless loops of anxiety that many experience. But through Platten’s words, we find solace in knowing we aren’t alone in the battle. By repeating the mantra, “You’re bigger than the bad thoughts,” Rachel reminds listeners to take a breath and trust that they can make it through their darkest moments.
