“Worst of Me” captured 73% of the vote, surpassing recent releases from artists like Lana Del Rey (“Henry, Come On”), Jessie Murph (“Blue Strips”), Bon Iver (SABLE fABLE), Rauw Alejandro (“Carita Linda”), and others.
“Worst of Me” is the second single from Erivo’s sophomore album, I Forgive You, which is set for release on June 6 through Verve Records/Republic Records. In addition to showcasing her powerhouse vocals, the project marks a new chapter for Erivo as a songwriter, as she has co-writing credits on every track.
The new single sees Erivo soaring vocally as she closes the door on a toxic relationship. Lush string arrangements and intricate harmonies elevate the emotional ballad, as she declares: “I came here for love, oh, no I don’t want it anymore. I gave you my home, but you took the worst of me.”
It’s is shaping up to be a banner year for Erivo. Following the blockbuster success of Wicked in 2024, she received a best actress nomination at the 2025 Oscars, where she also delivered a show-stopping performance of “Defying Gravity” alongside co-star Ariana Grande. Still ahead, she’s set to host the 2025 Tony Awards, take on the role of Jesus Christ in the Hollywood Bowl’s Jesus Christ Superstar, and headline WorldPride’s post-parade stage in Washington, D.C. All this leads up to the release of Wicked: For Good, the final installment of the franchise, premiering Nov. 21.
Del Rey’s “Henry, Come On” landed in second place in the poll with 12% of the vote. The gentle track serves as the first single from her long-awaited country album, The Right Person Will Stay.
