Pour your heart out with Vodka Cranberry, a soul-stirring single from Conan Gray’s fourth album Wishbone, set to release on August 15, 2025. through Republic Records. This pop-rock ballad, produced by Dan Nigro, captures the raw ache of a fading queer romance with lyrics like “Speak up, I know you hate me / Looked at your picture and cried like a baby.”
Unlike the rebellious edge of Crush Culture from Sunset Season, the biting satire of Affluenza from Kid Krow, or the synth-pop rush of Never Ending Song from Found Heaven, Vodka Cranberry dives into emotional vulnerability, continuing the bittersweet love story of This Song. Its Texas-shot music video, starring Gray and Corey Fogelmanis, amplifies Wishbone’s introspective narrative of heartbreak and self-discovery. Dive into the Vodka Cranberry lyrics below, and feel the sting of love’s unraveling.

Lyrics of Vodka Cranberry by Conan Gray
[Verse 1]
You Say We’re Fine, But Your Brown Eyes
Are Green This Time, So You’ve Been Crying
It’s In The Way You Say My Name
So Quick, So Straight, It Sounds The Same
[Pre-Chorus]
As The Time We Took A Break
February Fourth Through The Sixteenth Of May
So Strange To Be Back At Your Place
Pretending Like Nothing Has Changed
Oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Speak Up, I Know You Hate Me
Looked At Your Picture And Cried Like A Baby
Speak Up, Don’t Leave Me Waiting
Got Way Too Drunk Off A Vodka Cranberry
Called You Up In The Middle Of The Night
Wailing Like An Imbecile
If You Won’t End Things, Then I Will
[Verse 2]
Now I Look Dumb And You Look Mean
You Casually Steal Back Your T-shirt
And Your Polo Cap, Yeah, I Noticed That
Yeah, I Notice Everything You Do
[Pre-Chorus]
Since The Time We Took A Break
Everybody Knows You Don’t Love Me The Same
So Cruel To Be Lying To My Face
’cause I Know What You’re Too Scared To Say, Oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Speak Up, I Know You Hate Me
Looked At Your Picture And Cried Like A Baby
Speak Up, Don’t Leave Me Waiting
Got Way Too Drunk Off A Vodka Cranberry
Called You Up In The Middle Of The Night
Wailing Like An Imbecile
If You Won’t End Things, Then I Will
[Bridge]
(Don’t Make Me Do This To You) I Will
(Don’t Make Me Do This, But I Will) I Will
I Will
I Will, I Will, I Will
[Chorus]
Speak Up, I Know You Hate Me
Looked At Your Picture And Cried Like A Baby
Speak Up, Don’t Leave Me Waiting
Got Way Too Drunk Off A Vodka Cranberry
Called You Up In The Middle Of The Night
Wailing Like An Imbecile
If You Won’t End Things, Then I Will
