CMAT has released a new single called Stay For Something.

Soaring and emotional, the personal track focuses on a past relationship of theirs, offering introspective lyrics over a synth-laced, Americana-influenced production.

It serves as the fourth preview of Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson's new album, 'Crazymad, For Me', due out on October 13 via AWAL. Head below to view the accompanying James Slater-directed video. Thompson said:

"It's basically just about questioning why I stayed / suffered in a bad relationship for as long as I did. Trying to desperately find some kind of meaning in the mess and then being embarrassed when I remember the good parts. It's not very lyrical or poetic, it's just a lot of emotion and energy - this song, to me, sounds like going for a run at 1am with your headphones on full blast, screaming through the streets in order to get away from your problems. I hope that at least one person does that when they hear it."

It'll be joined on the record by the previously shared John Grant collaboration, Where Are Your Kids Tonight?, as well as Have Fun! and Whatever's Inconvenient.

Born and raised in Dublin, the pop singer-songwriter will support the LP, which was recorded with Bonny Light Horseman’s Josh Kaufman, with a UK and Ireland tour this winter.

She also has three US dates lined up for later this month and in early October, a UK in-store tour, and a recently confirmed third show at The Olympia in Dublin on November 30. Tickets for the latter go on general sale at 10am on Friday (September 8).
