Banx & Ranx return with “I’m a Mess,” an emotive new single tackling anxiety, featuring Sam James.
Following a standout run of GRAMMY, Latin GRAMMY, and JUNO nominations and wins, multi-platinum producer-songwriter duo Banx & Ranx return with their bold new single, “I’m a Mess” featuring Sam James. Out now via 31 East/Universal Music Canada, the track marks a meaningful creative shift for the Montréal-based duo.
Co-written with Sam James and Guus Mulder, “I’m a Mess” is a vulnerable and emotive offering that unpacks the mental toll of success and fame. Sam James’s raw vocal delivery anchors the track’s introspective lyrics as heartbeat-like drums pulse under a sweeping, atmospheric drop that’s signature Banx & Ranx.
“I know I’d be better off staying home but I don’t think I should be alone right now
Someone save me, I’m about to drown these lonely feelings out…” 
Banx & Ranx share, “‘I’m a Mess’ started flowing so easily, so organically, that it felt like it came from a higher place. This song is very different for us—it has personal lyrics about struggling with anxiety and when we made it, it reminded us of why we do what we do. It still has the Banx & Ranx energy on the drop, but it has a real message that we hope can be used as a remedy for people to not feel alone.”
With over 4 billion global streams, the duo continues to evolve their sound while maintaining their signature energy. “I’m a Mess” signals a new era—one rooted in connection and honesty.
