“Natural Disaster” merges '90s power-pop staples with a modern folk-pop edge. Lyrically, the track explores themes of global warming and solidarity when it feels we’re staring the end of the world right in the face – “And hey, if we’re all dying then what does it matter? We’re a natural disaster.”

“I wanted to create a visual for "Natural Disaster" that drew attention to the way in which our planet is suffering, but also reminding people of the beauty of this earth and why we should be fighting to save it," says Cosentino on the accompanying video.

"None of us are perfect, but even if we do one or two small things in an attempt to elicit change, we are doing the right thing. With some of the hottest temperatures on record happening this summer, I hope this song and video can serve as a call to action. I chose to highlight Evergreen Action, a non profit organisation working towards combating climate change. This is the only planet we’ve got, let’s all do our best to treat her right.”

“Natural Disaster was absolutely the easiest song on the album to write,” said Cosentino. “Producer and songwriter Suzy Shinn sent me an instrumental track, and the moment I heard it, I ran to my music room and wrote this. It was one of those songs that felt like it was just waiting to come out of me. The message is very clear: I had been thinking a lot about the energy of the summer of 2020 in particular – political upheaval, protests against police brutality, wildfires throughout the state of California, and other Natural Disasters around the globe. That chaotic energy was palpable on planet earth."

"The song is meant to serve as a commentary on the way we as humans go about our business as the world around us crumbles and literally burns," she continues. "Thinking about the way our planet is changing is wildly anxiety-producing, but it’s very real, so I hope this song can call attention to it while also giving people something to sing along to.”

The single "Natural Disaster" follows Bethany Cosentino's previous releases, "For A Moment", "Easy", and "It's Fine". Cosentino recently joined Paramore on stage in Los Angeles to perform "Big Man, Little Dignity" which features on their latest album, This Is Why.
