Sad Song Backwards features on the Scissor Sisters vocalist’s self-titled debut solo LP, which is out on August 10. Discussing it, he said:
"This is simultaneously one of the most upbeat and one of the darkest songs I’ve ever written. It’s about someone going through a very rough patch to say the least. I read somewhere that if you’re really sad, to just walk around smiling really big, and it will release some kind of endorphin to make you feel better. But then you end up looking like a total psycho. This song is basically the equivalent."
Shears will follow up the album's arrival with a headline UK tour in August and several festival sets.
