healthy habit Lyrics – Madison Beer | from “locket”

Madison Beer is unlocking her most vulnerable chapter yet with Locket, her third studio album out January 16 on Epic Records, and healthy habit sneaks in like that late-night text from an ex you swore you’d block—sweet poison you keep coming back to.

This one, co-written and produced with Jasper Harris, Leroy Clampitt, Madison herself, and Lucy Healey, lands smack in the middle of the album’s emotional core: a glossy pop gem with shimmering synths and that breathy vocal pull she wields like a secret weapon. It’s got the glossy sheen of modern R&B-tinged pop—think subtle bass throbs under finger-snapped verses that build to a hazy, echoing chorus—but the real hook is how it flips toxic cycles into something almost glamorous.

Lines like “It’s not a healthy habit (I could spare a few) / Like smoking in the kitchen and romanticizing you” nail that push-pull of boredom-fueled longing, where desperation dresses up as harmless fun. It’s Madison at her most candid, blending vulnerability with a wink, like she’s handing you a lighter and daring you to spark up anyway. Dropped as a teaser just weeks ago, it racked up millions on TikTok, fans stitching their own “pretending they’re you” stories to those looping “And I wonder if it’s worth doing it again” refrains.

Locket unfolds as an 11-track deep dive into the mess of connections, kicking off with the atmospheric “locket theme” and weaving through heartbreakers like “yes baby” (already out and charting), the brooding “angel wings,” and the punchy “for the night.” It peaks with standouts such as “bad enough” right before this one, then rolls into “you’re still everything” and the single “bittersweet,” before closing on “nothing at all.” The whole thing’s a mosaic of fleeting highs and hard truths, inspired by Beer’s own curveballs—like rethinking a “finished” album after life threw a wrench in. No massive collabs announced yet, but her socials lit up last week with a moody teaser reel for the tracklist, fans already speculating on the vibes. Early lyrics snippets are bubbling on Genius too, hinting at that signature blend of ache and armor.

Right now, Beer’s in this golden stretch, two years past Silence Between Songs and fresh off sold-out tours that proved she’s no flash-in-the-pan. From teen Vine star to a writer who’s co-penned every cut here, Locket feels like her staking claim—more control behind the board, lyrics that cut deeper, trading some pop sheen for stories that stick because they’ve scarred.
