Today’s the day—In Her Own Words have just unleashed their brand new single “Cherry Red,” and it’s one of those songs that grabs you by the heart and doesn’t let go. Out now via Thriller Records, the track arrives with a visualizer that ties the whole story together and puts you right in the middle of the emotion.
“Cherry Red” is built around the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of memories from a broken relationship. No matter how much time passes, you can’t escape them. As frontman Joey Fleming explains, the song tells the story of someone haunted by their past, where everything feels faded except for that one color—“cherry red”—that stands out as both love and pain. It’s a vivid image that’s hard to shake, and the song captures that perfectly.
Musically, this single takes everything fans love about In Her Own Words and pushes it further. If “Beg For More” showed their growth, “Cherry Red” is the sound of a band hitting their stride. It’s heartfelt, melodic, and cuts deep in that way only the best pop punk tracks can.
Joey and Andretti Almalel have been carving out their own lane in LA’s alternative scene, refusing to chase trends and instead creating something authentic. That dedication has been clear across their EP Left In The Dark, their Sticky Sweet headlining tour, and standout sets at Emo Vacation and Ceremony Fest. And with “Cherry Red” now out in the world, it feels like their most powerful statement yet.
You’ll want to keep an eye on their socials for updates about when this track makes it into their live shows. Considering how strong their performances have been alongside Capstan, Have Mercy, Set It Off, and Scene Queen, “Cherry Red” is bound to hit even harder on stage.
So go stream it, watch the visualizer, and let yourself sink into it—just be warned, you might find yourself hitting repeat more than once.
