On The Band Perry’s “Comeback Kid”
I just find it a bit hard to conjure up any sympathy for The Band Perry at this point, especially if they’re the ones asking for it. So your single flopped, and then your label dropped you. You’ve still seen more success and wealth via music than what 99% of musicians could ever dream of. And now you want to play the victim, like it was someone else’s fault for the state you’re in, which is now beyond being a laughing stock, and is more just an oddity of the music edifice, drawing curiosity for what their next move will be, and their new song “Comeback Kid” and the marketing behind it being just the latest specimen to behold and attempt to decipher. We’ve gone from Dollar General yellow, to Maybelline foundation tan.
We all knew when The Band Perry released their pop song “Live Forever” and declared themselves “pop tarts” (that’s a direct quote), they’d immediately made an achingly-predictable mistake. A successful band in the country space decided they wanted to go swim with the big fishes of pop and got gobbled up. But don’t go bellyaching about the results and the commentary that followed as if it’s someone else’s fault. If The Band Perry’s career was murdered, it was by their own hands, and their own decisions—not the media or label management that happened to pen the post-mortems or rolling commentary of the results.
After getting dropped from Big Machine, The Band Perry signed a pop deal with Interscope, and a country deal with Universal Music Group Nashville. Confused? So apparently is The Band Perry in what direction they want to go. Still. Do they want to wipe the slate clean with the whole pop experiment and return to their roots as a 3-piece string band, or do they want to triple down on the pop thing, if for no other reason than to show up their critics as being wrong about the band’s pop prospects and resolve the whole time?
“Comeback Kid” tries to be both country and pop, while accomplishing neither, and stringing out this strange narrative of The Band Perry to yet another chapter. Part of the problem with The Band Perry has always been their level of self-awareness—the brothers’ hairstyles being just one example; another being how Kimberly Perry’s ambition has always outpaced her talent. She’s not terrible by any stretch, but even in this new song there’s still more breath than tone on the vocal track, which is emphasized by the production and arrangement, not hidden by it as it should be. And yay, they used some string instrumentation on this song. But is anyone seriously considering this country? Is this going to be pushed to country or pop radio? I’m asking because I really don’t know.
Country? Okay, then it will probably fail. But like with any single these days, its success has more to do with how committed a label is to shoving it down radio’s throat as opposed to the relative quality or resonance of the track. So who knows? This whole anti-bullying thing is hot right now. But again, this isn’t the case of big meanies getting in The Band Perry’s way; this is a case where they can’t get out of their own.
The problem with “Comeback Kid” is that it assumes that everyone is aware of just how hard the last year or so has been for the sibling trio, but the average fan doesn’t pay enough attention to label politics or behind-the-scenes signings to know or care. They’re not giving rapt attention to the negativity in a band’s Facebook comments section, or the commentary of stupid little music blogs. They just wait for the next song to come on the radio and hum to it as they commute to and from work.
Beyond all of the behind-the-scenes drama and the failing of one single, The Band Perry has been getting along just fine, if not great. In fact their team probably deserves resounding applause for being able to keep the band in the public spotlight even as they’ve been vacant from radio. They performed on the Miss Universe pageant. They somehow got “Live Forever” to be named the U.S. Olympic Team’s official song. They made numerous other television appearances, including at the pregame for the college football playoffs, and recently on The Family Feud.
The Band Perry is not a lost cause. Even “Live Forever” didn’t do nearly as bad as many other recently-failed singles. At least it cracked the Top 30. Chase Rice would kill for that at the moment.
So when they announce “The Comeback Kid” as some answer to all their detractors and recent failures, most mainstream listeners are not privy to know what they’re having to “comeback” from. The Band Perry’s been paying too much attention to their own press and critics. They made a big display of erasing all of the posts on their social media pages right before releasing this song, but the band has already eroded a lot of the loyalty from their fan base by deleting negative fan comments about “Live Forever” and other decisions from their Facebook page.
Of course folks are going to chirp. They bought into The Band Perry as a country act, and then the band turned coats. But you didn’t see Taylor Swift try to suppress dissent when she made a similar move. When Swift released her anti-bully song “Mean,” the entire world knew what it was about because it was based off of her colossal, high-profile failing at The Grammy Awards. Most fans aren’t invested enough in The Band Perry to care what label they’re signed to. If anything, this song is shining a spotlight on The Band Perry’s drama that many didn’t know about until now.
As a song, “Comeback Kid” is a bit disjointed and busy, but not entirely terrible. Hey, give them some credit for working the acoustic strings in there, and though the self-affirming, anti-bully “gee I’ll show you” songs are a dime a dozen these days, the message is certainly better that the message of many mainstream country songs, if they even have a message at all. And despite the marketing preceding the song wanting to cast it as an answer to critics, the writing works in enough parallels with a broken heart or failed relationship to allow it to mean something to the common listener beyond the commentary on The Band Perry itself.
But some of the lines make you cringe like, “I bet they’ve never had a broken heart.” What is it about these type of songs that make the writers decide to make wild-eyed assumptions about these supposed critics and bullies? The reason that fans went to The Band Perry’s Facebook page to complain about “Live Forever,” or a site like Saving Country Music offered rolling commentary on the band’s missteps, is not because we hate them. The Band Perry’s fans were materially invested in their music, and they wanted to express their opinions about being let down. They remembered songs like “If I Die Young” and “Better Dig Two,” knew where the band’s strength was, and wanted more of that.
This whole move to pop got The Band Perry caught up in their own head. They don’t need to answer their critics in song and marketing scheme. They just need to go out there and do what they do best, which is all critics and fans were clamoring for in the first place. Put out another Brandy Clark-penned song. That will shut detractors up nice and quick, even more so then the arbitrary level of success of some radio single you release.
READ: The Band Perry’s Big Fat Yellow Mistake
“Comeback Kid” tries to get back to the heart of what The Band Perry does, but it only does it partially. Yet hey, maybe it’s a step in the right direction. The Band Perry can’t complain if country music doesn’t welcome them back with open arms after they abandoned it so blissfully. But the whiners are hypocrites if The Band Perry does an about face and they’re still bitching in full throat.
I want to hear more of what The Band Perry has to offer after their reboot before making any bold proclamations. What will the album sound like, and how will “Comeback Kid” fit into it? And where will The Band Perry’s crazy ride take them next?
We’ll just have to see.
August 1, 2016 @ 9:32 am
Another funny read Trigg, also if you want, tell the fans here, about Bingham’s free streaming concert Saturday, I’m pumped for it!
August 1, 2016 @ 9:54 am
Maybe I’m hearing/interpreting it wrong, but what’s the deal with the lyric “How dare you forget how I started out (cue the If I Die Young hook).”
Isn’t the problem that fans/critics REMEMBERED how they started out? And didn’t want them to change?
August 1, 2016 @ 10:14 am
That’s a good point. A lot of the lyrics to the song try to frame The Band Perry as victims of something, when they were the ones making the decisions, and listeners were just giving their opinions and reacting to it.
The Band Perry wanted to follow in the footsteps of Taylor Swift, and wanted to attempt to become an arena act. And it failed. So yes, get back up, brush yourself off, and get back after it. But don’t act like it’s the fault of anyone else, unless Big Machine physically forced them to do it. And if that’s the case, go after them, not the folks whose hearts got broken in the process.
August 1, 2016 @ 9:55 am
it’s better than live forever lyrically (maybe they’re back to writing their music again) but for one this is not country it sounds like something you would hear on an adult contemporary station to fill time between adele and katy perry or rob thomas or whatever (they can’t play that stuff all the time right) and i’m not sure if i like it or not may have to listen a few more times
August 1, 2016 @ 9:59 am
Regarding “Comeback Kid”, the song itself ALMOST has the markings of the next pop power ballad (e.g., Katy Perry’s “Roar”), but the chorus fails to deliver after the verses build it up. What should be sweeping instrumentation just kinda whimpers along. Honestly, if you slapped these lyrics onto the musical style of “Live Forever”, they possibly would have seen their pop tart dreams fulfilled. “Comeback Kid” is a step in the right pop direction, but it will do nothing for any country fans they may have dangling.
Also, even though the criticism against The Band Perry has been intense, their wounds have been self-inflicted due to poor song/career/production choices. They had a fairly successful thing going on and they squandered it. The real victims in the music industry are those who have quality material and are blocked/trapped by their labels (e.g., Josh Turner). Sometimes, it’s best to own up to mistakes and move on instead of placing blame at the feet of others and then trying to capitalize on it.
August 1, 2016 @ 10:17 am
“What should be sweeping instrumentation just kinda whimpers along.”
Good point. It’s a pop song, and the string instruments, though appreciated, can’t prop up the structure.
They tried to follow Taylor Swift into pop, now they’re trying to copy her hit “Mean.” How about The Band Perry just be The Band Perry? It was working for them just fine before?
August 1, 2016 @ 10:13 am
I’ll give them credit for making a song that is much better than Live Forever, but this one is still not up there with If I Die Young, Better Dig Two, or their cover of Gentle On My Mind. To me, Live Forever felt like a worse version of Rachel Platten’s Fight Song. This song is not bad, but not all that great. One gun up for the overall message, one gun down for the underwhelming production and some poor lyric choices.
August 1, 2016 @ 10:50 am
I’m going to pretend this song doesn’t exit
August 1, 2016 @ 11:29 am
I’m not a TBP fan, so not even going to bother with this song.

The lyrics are a mess. And they are not supportive of an “inspirational song” by any means.
I am tremendously disappointed that they did not return to what they did so well, but I support anyone trying to create themselves, whatever that is. Its just that the two are like different people. Like they were not actually who the professed to be before. Like it was a lie created by producers. But I know better. They are very talented. So I am endlessly frustrated.
The one thing I will stand up for though, from your review, is her voice. I actually think it is plenty good enough to be a solid legit singer. Not great maybe, but unique enough to stand for itself and good enough to stand beside others.
She is just not singing good music. That is the problem with her voice.
August 1, 2016 @ 1:35 pm
Kimberly Perry’s voice can be decent, but she has to understand where her strengths and weaknesses are. This is something many singers struggle with, especially when it comes to song and key selection. That is where the production must come in to enhance the strengths.
August 1, 2016 @ 1:38 pm
This is a terrible song with a lyric that goes in circles , rattles off cliches, tries to solicit sympathies WITHOUT giving us story , background , the cast , facts , scenerio or circumstances . It relentlessly plays off of one phrase ” Comeback Kid ” and barely gets by as a song at all on that weak , overused hook . The music never achieves any kind of dynamic in terms of verse/chorus contrast , the vocalist is not challenged by the melody whatsoever which makes it next to impossible to inject any semblance of passion or emotion , there is no imagery in the lyric , it has no traditional country elements and fewer pop elements . Its a graduation speech designed for digestion by elementary school girls who only need to relate to the sentiment , not the circumstance , to buy into it on some …on any level . Its a desperate act by the newest band to join the ranks of ‘ strawgraspers ‘ tryin anything and everything but what brought them to the dance in the first place . I don’t get it . Particularly because there is no reason for any of this second -guessing by artists when it comes to figuring out who you are and what you want listeners to understand about where you are coming from . You need to come from the heart and if you can’t write what you want to convey there are dozens of folks who CAN . BUT if you are a REAL artist , you need to be able to recognize that someone has crystallized your vision when you hear it . No guns up from me until BP shows us they can do that .
August 1, 2016 @ 2:02 pm
Anyone want to make bets on how long it will be before a “hiatus” is announced?
August 2, 2016 @ 9:49 am
Or a Kimberly Perry solo house gig on CMT Christmas specials
August 1, 2016 @ 2:06 pm
They’re victims….
of their own bad ideas. That’s all. If they want to present themselves as talentless hacks as opposed to a truly interesting bluegrass/country/pop crossover artist, more power to them, but I won’t be buying the shit.
August 1, 2016 @ 2:29 pm
FFS. This is just beyond braindead pop music. I like a lot of pop music, even of the braindead variety. But have a little fun, or make it an airbug, just there to annoy you or something. This is very depressing. Getting high on yrself with this piece of cuntstew ain’t ait.
August 1, 2016 @ 5:36 pm
Cuntstew. Is that available at Panera?
August 1, 2016 @ 3:39 pm
The lyrics actually don’t bother me. They’re decent enough and I’ve heard worse.
But the song has no life, no passion. A bigger swell of instrumentation, a larger chorus, some actual emotion and it could’ve at least been redeemed.
I hate using this word when it comes to music, but in this rare case- this song is /boring/
Lifeless, dead, flat.
August 1, 2016 @ 4:27 pm
To me this song is better than Live Forever. I can actually listen to song all the way through compared to Live Forever. I do like the fact that she is using the raspyness in her singing voice. But, I feel like it is missing something. And, Tali might have hit on it with it not having no life or no passion.
August 1, 2016 @ 4:37 pm
This song is a mess, it wants to be both pop and country, but instead of blending the genres it tries to do both separately, and succeeds at being neither.
August 1, 2016 @ 4:45 pm
Honestly, I prefer “Live Forever” over this.
Say what you will about “Live Forever”, the much-lampooned yellow imagery surrounding its promotion and the fact it wasn’t a country song in any way, shape or form. On its own merit as a pop song, I actually considered it semi-enjoyable. Many tend to overlook the verses have some interesting lyrical details with a certain ambiguity and suspense to them, and there’s even a touch of fragility in the bridge before its final chorus. I get why it was the recipient of backlash in that it was marketed as a country single, but beyond that I don’t get to this day why it has been derided as one of the worst songs in recent memory.
“Comeback Kid”, in contrast, also isn’t country (having acoustic instruments present in your song doesn’t make it country by default, just saying) and is nothing more but a whinefest that doesn’t even sound radio-ready.
*
Firstly, the production seems to simultaneously try too hard to invoke emotion while also not trying hard enough.
Stylistically, in a sense, you can tell they have one foot retreating back to the acoustic-driven simplicity of their eponymous debut. But make no mistake: when pairing this back-to-back with “Postcard From Paris” and “You Lie”, this sounds closer to the stylings of Adult Top 40 productions like Greg Kurstin and Greg Wells than of Paul Worley: from the hot-and-cold sink faucet dynamics at play between the verses and chorus, to the appearance of strings late in the song that serve as an “Eureka!” moment that is commonplace in Adult Contemporary fare.
But tellingly, for a song that’s titled “Comeback Kid”, there’s a striking air of resignation to the production as a whole. It comes across as decidedly overcast and lugubrious: broken only by a south/mouth couplet from Kimberly in the bridge. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the coda, where Perry insists she’ll invite anyone to her parade on her comeback day and serve everyone ice cream and lemonade………………..but sings it with an unconfident yearning. I get maybe the point she’s trying to make is that she’d LIKE to think of herself as a comeback kid, but it takes a lot of time and setbacks to rise above the obstacles. I get the sentiment, but then, it still gets in the way of this song in that it makes it come across as more of a self-indulgent infomercial than an artistic effort.
*
Which leads into what irritates me about this song: the lyrics, and most notably how they’re framed.
Yeah, I know they have claimed it’s not just about the band’s adversities over the past year since the bottom dropped out on “Heart+Beat”, but come on! Do you expect me to believe them when they say “Up till now, I’ve never made a sound…” in the first verse? Or flat-out saying “I believe it has been a year…”
Bullshit! I know they’ve since deleted their entire back history of social media correspondence surrounding the original promotion of “Heart+Beat”, so to those who weren’t following them along then it’s too easy to believe her. But c’mon Kimberly: you’re a singer, not a politician. Censorship and backpedaling isn’t going to change the reality that we both know what you said in response to those calling out “Live Forever” as a pop song as opposed to a country one, and when we subsequently came across live performances of other songs presumably lined up for that album including the now-infamous “Put Me In The Game” (which curiously have been wiped clean off of YouTube entirely) and “The Best One Yet”.
And then there’s that balderdash about saying anyone who dared to offer dissenting views on their song and, thus, are “haters”, have “never had a broken heart”. Yeah, you sure got me there, Kimberly! I’m just a tin woman without a heart! Oh……………….what I would give “just to register emotion, jealousy, devotion, and really feel the part. Oh, I could stay young and chipper, and I’d lock it with a zipper…………………if I only had a heart.” ; __ ;
And DAMN THOSE CRITICS! Damn them for scrutinizing all our music just for the fun of it! Damn them for keeping their critical faculties engaged and even providing……………….(gasp)……………..constructive criticism! We need to show them that picking on musicians just because their music isn’t their cup of tea isn’t right! Will you help us, fans who we recently called “haters” because they pointed out our recent music isn’t country?
And, OH HO HO! Did you catch that in the second verse? That moment where Kimberly warbles: “How dare you forget where I started out!” before reverberating the all-too-familiar “Uh oh, uh oh!” made popular by their hit song “If I Die Young”? Damn you have short memories!
Then we get to the bridge where she sings: “I believe in what I am, I believe in what I was…” If that were true, why did you wipe clean your entire social media history throughout the course of this past year to year and a half? If we’re supposed to take your word for it, then shouldn’t you be owning up to “Live Forever”, “Put Me In The Game” and “Heart+Beat” as a whole? Especially if you’re saying “I believe in every word that ever came out of my mouth”? Prove it: reverse the decision to delete all live performances of “Put Me In The Game” on YouTube!
Finally, she says she’ll invite us all to her big parade on her comeback day and serve us cavity-inducing sweets.
*
One thing is for sure: “Comeback Kid” won’t mark their comeback day………………….so the parade, ice cream and lemonade will have to wait indefinitely.
When Lady Gaga promoted and released “ARTPOP”, most of her fans turned on her because, as you might recall, she wouldn’t stop whining about fame and the press. Donald Trump’s ratings for his convention and speech languished in comparison to many previous conventions because he spent virtually all of his time lamenting the negative instead of offering positive ideas. And The Band Perry’s latest is ultimately going to be met with high negative scores in radio callout surveys and, thus, will have an abbreviated chart run.
The lyrics scream “We’re too thin-skinned to accept criticism, and anyone who offers us such are haters, f*** y’all!”, and the production sounds way too tentative and tepid for this to come alive and fit the defiant nature of its title. It’s an unpleasant, resigning, brooding anthem that never takes flight and will only prove to polarize listeners in reminding listeners of and reinforcing why they got on their nerves to begin with. I’m expecting this to fare no better than “Live Forever”.
At least “Live Forever” got the anthemic part of the equation right.
I’m thinking a Light to Decent 3 out of 10 for this.
August 1, 2016 @ 5:17 pm
“Finally, she says she’ll invite us all to her big parade on her comeback day and serve us cavity-inducing sweets.”
Have you ever drank lemonade right after eating something sweet? It’s a bad move.
And I agree, for a pop song, “Live Forever” wasn’t evil. It just most certainly wasn’t country.
August 1, 2016 @ 5:28 pm
Right. I just remembered the song made countless Worst Songs of 2016 lists and, even taking into context the fact “Live Forever” is 0% country, I disagreed in that I could think of at least ten songs worse than that released that year.
August 5, 2016 @ 5:16 am
Speaking of not country at all – have you heard Ryan Follese’s “Float Your Boat” ? Just another ’90s to early 2000s pop/alternative recycled as country.
August 1, 2016 @ 5:10 pm
I really don’t give two shits about the song. Pretty much all I can think about right now is how these fools managed to get another major-label deal in spite of making complete fools of themselves as artists, and how Steven Tyler got a major-label deal in spite of being an unknown quantity, and how Aaron Watson shopped The Underdog to every label in Nashville and got turned down by all of them.
Fuck The Band Perry and fuck Nashville too.
August 1, 2016 @ 5:46 pm
I find it hilarious that Country news sites like The Boot and Taste of Country are reporting that in interviews The Band Perry said they were never trying to go Pop and never once did they say they were.
Come Back Kid is better than Live Forever but they need to stop lying and admit that they were trying to go Pop but failed.
August 1, 2016 @ 11:35 pm
Any of us can call out their balderdash in five seconds with a cursory Google search:
http://www.ew.com/article/2015/10/24/band-perry-heart-beat-ew-fest
“We grew up on so many different styles of music – everything from Michael Jackson to Loretta Lynn to The Rolling Stones,” Perry said. “This third effort really has us embracing more of our pop side than we have previously. We’re pop-tarts at heart.”
August 1, 2016 @ 8:11 pm
Weird they take no real accountability for anything. Playing victim? Sad, they were talented. Not sure what is going on w/ them but PLEASE cute the hair.
August 1, 2016 @ 11:46 pm
The Band Perry, over the course of this past year, have been like the music industry’s equivalent of Donald Trump’s campaign team (I bring that up not meaning to be overtly political, but as an observation as to how the latter’s campaign is being managed).
Both seem to incessantly struggle to stay focused and on message, and seem intensely disorganized in the public relations department. And although both may have legitimate grievances here and there, they alienate many listeners by frequently acting defensively in the face of criticism and lashing out as opposed to actively taking their assertions to heart.
The good news is, much like Trump, being the subject of incessant controversy and curious observation as to who’s managing their career and their whereabouts has given The Band Perry a great degree of free publicity that at least 98% of other commercially-minded entertainers would dream to ever receive. It’s got to count for something we’re still talking about The Band Perry after one failed single and a shelved album these past twelve months. Those same type of developments would doom almost any other act.
August 2, 2016 @ 7:19 am
I just don’t understand why we are wasting time on this crap.
it is not country, it is pop, and it sux.
At one time, they had a couple good songs, maybe some potential, but they are done.
it is a waste of time..
August 2, 2016 @ 8:34 am
I totally understand why following The Band Perry would not be an interesting topic to many country fans. But from a standpoint of trends and label politics, I think it is a very important and relevant topic. Yesterday after I posted, this, I read an interview with the President of the label that signed The Band Perry and released this song. The fact they’re signed to both a pop and country label at the same time could create a very interesting dynamic moving forward. This is a similar deal to what Zac Brown signed. If more country artists sign these hybrid deals, it could create an entirely new set of parameters for country going pop.
Of course, you may not care about any of this. But that doesn’t mean someone else doesn’t, or it may be important in the grand scheme.
August 2, 2016 @ 7:49 am
Holy freaking crap they erased their entire Twitter backlog thing, they only have 59 or so tweets, all about the Comeback Kid and stuff. I went to see for myself just thinking the tweets will go up to a few days go before abruptly going to tweets from a year and a half ago.
I think maybe they probably don’t realize that things tend to stay on the Internet and not really go away so to speak so someone could easily find out stuff about Live Forever and Heart + Beat and what’s going on thanks to the previous articles that Trig wrote on here.
August 2, 2016 @ 8:56 am
I like this song. Putting aside the band’s history, and genres, the song has a unique sound and lyrically its not preachy like I feared. The fact of the matter is, I’d rather buy an album full of songs like this than listen to M-O-V-E by Luke Byran.
August 2, 2016 @ 10:30 am
In a story posted on Rolling Stone Country today, they’re really playing up the victim card.
Gimme a break.
August 2, 2016 @ 3:00 pm
This song is terrible … i’m probably a bigger fan of TBP’s early stuff than anyone on this board … but I think it’s significantly worse than the pink ft kenny cheezy song you justifiably wrecked. This really is a broke person’s Taylor Swift.
August 6, 2016 @ 5:03 pm
This review is spot on as are most of the comments. I loved the first two TBP albums. They were country (well country pop) but had an individual style about them that wasn’t trying to mimic anybody else or chase radio success. They found success because of this. Most importantly they were successful because the songs were good songs. Totally remove the genre argument and the fact is, this is just not a good song. The chorus is boring and the instrumentation doesn’t really serve the song. It feels like the banjo and mandolin are simply there to ‘prove’ they are a country band. I’ve listened to this song twice now and 10 minutes later, I can hardly remember the melody. Not a good sign in terms of it becoming successful IMO…
November 28, 2016 @ 5:37 pm
I loved both live forever and comeback kid… I think it’s funny how everyone is so mad at the band perry group for trying something different. Gosh we all know they are talented as heck… and they did an amazing job at pop with their live forever song. Loved it!!!! And as for comeback kid… comeback in any style you want band perry!!! You guys are awesome and talented. You guys did great on those two songs(plus every other so far!!!)
Love u guys Kim, Niel, and Reid!
Love lari
April 25, 2017 @ 12:00 pm
I’m with you Lari! You said exactly what I was going to write. I never thought that country fans would want to dissect a song and criticize it for not being this or that. I can’t believe what I’m reading here. If that is the consensus of country fans, then I don’t want to be a country fan. But one thing is for sure. I am a Band Perry fan! Can’t wait to see you guys in Cleveland on May 6th! And yeah, I do feel sorry for The Band Perry, that they have to put up with this pettiness.
