“Class Clown” is the sixth track on Conan Gray’s fourth studio album Wishbone, released on August 15, 2025. This album marks a deeply personal and reflective phase in Gray’s career, created quietly over two years while touring and produced with longtime collaborator Dan Nigro.
This Beatles-esque pop gem, with its whimsical vocal repetition and sweet melodies, captures a raw, elusive emotion Conan described as one he’s “never really been able to trap,” per Boys By Girls. Unlike the tender heartbreak of Heather from Kid Krow, the playful pettiness of Maniac, or the soaring drama of Alley Rose from Found Heaven, Class Clown weaves childhood reflection with emotional vulnerability, aligning with Wishbone’s introspective journey of self-discovery. Dive into the Class Clown lyrics below, and feel the tender pulse of youth.

Lyrics of Class Clown by Conan Gray
[Verse 1]
Growing Up Didn’t Go How I’d Liked
It Twists And Turns Like The Limbs Of A Pine
Trying To Grow On Earth That Writhes
And Do It All With The Biggest Smile
Half My Friends Barely Know Who I Am
And There’s None At Fault But This Own Singing Man
Don’t Wanna Hear That I’m Trailer Trash
It’s A Heavy Topic For Crystal Glass
[Chorus]
Everything Comes Back Around
I Still Feel Like The Class Clown
Everything Comes Back Around
I Still Feel Like The Class Clown
[Verse 2]
Take Your Pick, Be Laughed At Or Laughed With
I Learned Early On Either Way, It’s A Shit Stick
While My Father Was Barreling Fists, I Was
Laughing All The Way Through It
And Now The Blondies Are Clutching Their Ribs
From My Latest Joke From My Old Bag Of Tricks
But There’s This Beautiful Moment In It Where I Can Sorta Just Vanish
[Chorus]
Everything Comes Back Around
I Still Feel Like The Class Clown
Everything Comes Back Around
I Still Feel Like The Class Clown
Everything Is Over Now
I Still Feel Like The Class Clown
Like If I Get Older Now
I’ll Let My Younger Version Down
And If I Stop Laughing, All The Blood Will Just Start Pouring Out
’cause Everything Comes Back Around
I Still Feel Like The Class Clown
Mm-mm
[Bridge]
Been Tryna Talk To My Sister About It
We Joke A Million Jokes Through The Phone
Nothing Funny About That Home
But Her And I, We Already Know
[Chorus]
Everything Comes Back Around
I Still Feel Like The Class Clown
Everything Comes Back Around
I Still Feel Like The Class Clown
[Outro]
(Everything Comes Back Around, Everything Comes Back Around)
(Everything Comes Back Around, Everything Comes Back Around)
(Mm-mm) Everything Comes Back, Everything Comes Back
