A new single from alt-pop duo save for later, “Treating Me Bad” enamors across both chirpy rock and introspective string-laden folk. Crunchy guitars and twinkling keys drive into a string-laden emotiveness during the chorus — proclaiming “it’s for you to decide,” — and then into the folk-laden beauty, where aspirations to “steal your heart back,” show evidently. Crisp guitar swipes follow. “Treating Me Bad” balances quick pop/rock hooks with an emotional folk-touched introspection, engaging strongly throughout.
