“Boys Don’t Cry” is a cross between a breakup anthem and a letter to my younger self. At a certain point, you just have to decide to move on. If he’s not spending his time thinking about you, don’t waste another second of your life thinking about him. This song is about that, and it’s a lighthearted way to encourage your friends to get up, get it and start moving on,” said Bannen.

Bannen launched a playful social media campaign to coincide with the release of the song, encouraging influencers to share some of their favorite breakup movie titles, guilty pleasures and more. She’s received early support across social media and fans can join in on the campaign by visiting Bannen’s instagram (HERE) *see attached graphics.

Favorite Colors features 14 songs, all of which Bannen co-wrote and is loaded with the type of wit, playfulness and fierceness that Bannen is known for. Lead track “Deluxe” was featured by CMT, Rolling Stone’s 10 Best Songs To Hear Now and The Boot’s Songs You Have To Hear. Favorite Colors includes Bannen’s much-loved and critically-acclaimed trio of songs; “John Who,” “Happy Birthday” and “The Joneses,” all of which debuted simultaneously on Sirius XM’s The Highway. Most recently, People.com premiered the music video for the empowering, fan-favorite song “Faith In You,” that details the story of boxing champion Heather Hardy “The Heat.” View it here: https://bit.ly/2H4HSBv.
