Britpop-heltene i Suede slipper nå sin nye dobbel A-side-singel «Antidepressants» // «Sweet Kid», to sterke nøkkelspor fra bandets studioalbum «Antidepressants», som ble utgitt i oktober 2025 via BMG.

Begge låtene er for øyeblikket på spillelistene til BBC 6 Music og BBC Radio 2. I dag slippes også en ny lyric-video til «Sweet Kid».

Om «Antidepressants» sier Brett Anderson: “I don’t quite know what it’s about yet. I like not knowing what my songs are about. I like keeping myself guessing, and keeping everyone else guessing. It keeps it interesting. You can’t really tell whether the song is a celebration of antidepressants, or whether it’s a criticism of antidepressants. But it’s certainly a discussion about them. Medication has become an omnipresent condition in 21st century life. It felt like I had to sing something about it.”

Brett Anderson om «Sweet Kid»: “The song is about my relationship with my son. There’s a shadow of mortality there. There’s that feeling that I think every parent has, where their ultimate fear is that they’re not around to see their kids grow up. Which is always a possibility. No one really knows what’s around the corner. When I’m writing about my family I try not to make it too sweet. It’s too easy to write sickly songs about your family. I always try and put a little bit of grit in there.”
