Oops...! will appear on Sadie Dupuis' sophomore record, 'Haunted Painting', which is due out on September 25 through her own Wax Nine label. It follows the previously shared tracks WTD? and Ghost (Of A Good Time). Discussing the inspiration behind the tune, the Speedy Ortiz vocalist said:
"We recorded 'Oops…!' at New Monkey, which was Elliott Smith’s studio. This one has a magic drum sound — thanks entirely to engineer Sarah Tudzin (of Illuminati Hotties notoriety), and Zoë Brecher's impeccable playing. Just before writing it, on tour with Chvrches, a venue employee became physically and verbally violent with one of my Speedy Ortiz bandmates. He directed his fake apology at me instead of the person he harmed, presumably because I am smaller and present feminine. My vengeance complex kicked in and I got a scary adrenaline high making sure this unsafe person was removed from the show. While I’m glad I have protective instincts, I wrote the song to process ways in which I’ve used people’s assumptions about me and my body to wield my own version of toxic masculinity. Kimber-Lee Alston, who directed remotely via Zoom, turned this story and song into an allegory about a 1950s prom queen vampire who lures in her bad boy victims with delicious, blood-filled treats."
Oops...! swaggers along on a hazy guitar melody, while its accompanying video depicts something more sinister. Check it out below alongside the LP's artwork and tracklist.
