Suki Waterhouse has a way of turning a fleeting, late-night thought into a massive pop hook, and her latest single, “When I Get Drunk (I Want You Boy)” is the perfect example. It’s messy, it’s honest, and it’s arguably one of her most relatable tracks yet—a neon-soaked confession of that specific kind of longing that usually only comes out when the lights are low.

Catching That Intoxicating Rush

The song feels like a direct window into a late-night headspace. Written with Raj Jain (Noise Dept.) and Michael Derenzo, it doesn’t try to be too polished or over-produced. Instead, it leans into that raw, unfiltered chemistry that fans have come to love about Suki’s recent projects.

Waterhouse has described the track as an “ode to an intoxicating kind of love,” and you can hear that in the delivery. There’s a vulnerability there—it’s not just about the party; it’s about that quiet realization that you’re chasing someone you probably shouldn’t be. The production is shimmering and atmospheric, making it the kind of song that hits differently when you’re driving home late at night.

Getting Into the Loveland Mindset

This single is a major piece of the puzzle for her upcoming album, Loveland, which drops July 10 via Island Records. If you’ve been following the rollout, you know she’s framing this whole project as a “rollercoaster”—the kind of messy, beautiful journey of winning, losing, and trying again that defines your twenties and thirties.

She kept the visuals just as personal, too. The music video, co-directed by Suki and Tyler Weinberger, was actually shot in her own home. It feels less like a big-budget production and more like a fever dream she invited us into. It’s that human touch that makes her music feel less like a commercial product and more like a conversation.

Why You’ll Be Playing This on Repeat

The excitement for Loveland is definitely building, and this track is exactly the kind of energy we needed. Aside from the music, Suki’s doing something cool with the physical release—the vinyl gatefold actually turns into a board game called “Game of Loveland.” It’s a fun, tangible way to engage with the themes of the album, which feels like a great departure from how most artists handle merch these days.

If you’re planning to catch her live, the North American tour kicks off July 22. She’s hitting some massive spots, including Radio City Music Hall, so it’s going to be a big summer for the Loveland era.

• Album Release: July 10, 2026

• Tour Highlights: Starting July 22 in Phoenix, heading through LA, San Francisco, and a big night in NYC on September 24.

Have you had a chance to let the song settle in yet? It feels like the kind of track that only gets better the more you listen to it. Let us know if it’s hitting that sweet spot for you—or if you’re already prepping for your own “Game of Loveland” night.
