Taylor Acorn has announced her new album, Poster Child.

Due out on October 24 via Fearless Records, the Nashville pop-punker’s forthcoming LP includes lead single Goodbye, Good Riddance, as well as the newly-unveiled Hangman which you can hear below.

“The idea of Hangman came about during a time when, even though everything in my life was going well, I felt emotionally stuck – like the universe was playing a weird game with me,” Taylor admits. “I’d be having the best day, and then boom – my car battery dies. One time, I literally looked up at the sky and yelled, ‘Oh, come on!’

“I think a lot of us feel that way sometimes. Why can’t we move on from a relationship or situation that no longer suits us? I imagined the universe playing hangman as this fun visual – despite how emotional the song feels. It’s a different little spin on being down on your luck and trying to move forward.”

Watch the video for Hangman:

Catch Taylor Acorn live at the Electric Ballroom in London on September 19, plus the likes of When We Were Young Festival and other North American dates throughout the rest of 2025.
