August 13th, 2021 (New York, NY): Rising singer-songwriter vaultboy has released a remix of his viral debut single, “everything sucks,” which features singer-songwriter Eric Nam. vaultboy initially released this track on May 21st, 2021, and rapidly hit #1 on the Spotify Global Charts, staying there for almost two full weeks. “People are always telling me to write happy songs. I think the reason that people like the song is because it’s a happy song that’s kind of aware of the shit that isn’t happy.” vaultboy recently told Genius about the song. vaultboy and Eric Nam also teamed up to shoot an official music video, which will be dropping next week.

“I am beyond stoked to have Eric on the everything sucks remix! I first met Eric after we collaborated on the song he performed with Sarah Barrios “Have We Met Before”, which I co-wrote. We shot a live performance video together for that song and we got along well, so when I was looking for someone to guest feature on “everything sucks”, Eric felt like a no brainer. He’s an awesome dude and crazy talented, and we share a lot of laughs when we work together, so it was a fun experience getting to work with him in the studio and shoot a music video together!”
