Conan Gray Opens Up About the Heart Behind ‘Wishbone’
Hey, have you heard about Conan Gray’s new album, Wishbone ? It just dropped, and fans are already diving into the stories and emotions packed into it. Conan joined TODAY recently to talk about the album, and honestly, he got really personal about what this record means to him and what listeners can take away from it.
Wishbone has been shaped by experiences of rejection and heartbreak, which, as Conan explained, inspired both reflection and a kind of angst that runs through the album. It’s been described as a return to form for him, featuring twelve tracks that move seamlessly between bold, emotional anthems and quieter, more tender moments. What’s interesting is how much of his life is woven into these songs. He uses recurring characters, symbols, and settings, almost like little diary entries set to music, to tell stories about love, loss, and growing up.

Wishbone feels intimate, personal, and unmistakably Conan.
Some standout tracks really show the emotional range of the album. “Romeo” kicks things off with a trumpet introduction and dives into heartbreak inspired by Shakespeare’s tragedy—but Conan makes it feel modern, exploring the ways love and ego can unravel even the strongest connections. Then there’s “My World” and “Connell,” which explore the pain and confusion of breakups in ways listeners can deeply relate to. Songs like “Nauseous” and “Caramel” reveal Conan’s inner thoughts and fears, mixing reflections on love, childhood experiences, and heartbreak with catchy melodies and layered vocals. And the more intimate track, “Class Clown,” takes a look at self-image and how childhood labels can linger well into adulthood.
Throughout the conversation with TODAY, Conan emphasized that while these songs are deeply personal, the hope is that fans can find pieces of themselves in them too. Whether it’s feeling heartache, nostalgia, or just trying to make sense of growing up, he wants listeners to connect with the stories and emotions embedded in each track.
So, if you haven’t given Wishbone a listen yet, it’s definitely worth it—not just for the music, but for the way Conan Gray has managed to capture the messy, emotional, and utterly human side of life in such a relatable way.
