‘God Went Crazy’ – Teddy Swims Delivers a Soulful Tribute and Album Announcement
There’s something unmistakably grounded about Teddy Swims. With a voice built to cradle heartbreak and hold joy in equal measure, the GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter has found a rare sweet spot between global recognition and deeply personal storytelling. Now, with the release of his latest single ‘God Went Crazy’, Swims opens a new chapter in a journey that’s already reshaping the modern soul-pop landscape.
Released ahead of his expansive 32-track project I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Complete Edition) – ‘God Went Crazy’ arrives not as a statement piece but as a sincere love letter. Swims sings with wide-eyed awe: “God went crazy when he painted you… took a little extra time on you.” His voice, both husky and honeyed, doesn’t demand attention, it earns it, inviting listeners into a moment of emotional clarity rather than performance.
“It’s about that feeling you get when you’ve met your person,” Swims explains. “When you just know they’re home.”
Of course, any conversation about Teddy Swims in 2025 would be incomplete without mentioning ‘Lose Control’, the slow-burning hit that recently earned the longest run in Billboard Hot 100 history. Still sitting comfortably at #8 after an unprecedented 93 weeks, the track has cemented Swims not just as a breakthrough artist, but as a force shaping the very format of popular music.
And it’s not just stateside buzz. Swims recently completed a sold-out UK and European arena tour, delivered standout performances at the BRITs and GRAMMYs, and scored nominations at the MTV VMAs and BET Awards. He’s also plotting a global tour that spans North America, Australia, and New Zealand — a fitting path for someone who first turned heads with viral covers and now commands arenas.
Behind the accolades, though, is an artist still tethered to a simple truth: making music that matters. Swims’ appeal lies not just in his voice, but in the vulnerability he’s willing to lay bare — whether it’s through songs of heartbreak like ‘Bad Dreams’, romantic tributes like ‘God Went Crazy’, or genre-fusing collaborations with artists like GIV?ON, Coco Jones, and Muni Long.
There’s no denying that I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Complete Edition) will be a career milestone and a FAULTLess culmination of a breakout run years in the making. But it’s also a reminder that, in an industry often fuelled by noise, sincerity still resonates.
