My Side of Paradise returns with their new single “All My Exes (feat. Jaret Reddick of Bowling For Soup)”, available on all major streaming platforms. Following the band’s heavy, high-energy, and cinematic releases, “I’ve Got Time,” “Roulette,” and “Lost and Angelless”, this latest track showcases a different side of the band: witty, self-aware, and unapologetically fun.
“All My Exes” is a tongue-in-cheek breakup anthem that flips the usual narrative, admitting the uncomfortable truth most people avoid, that sometimes, we’re the problem. The track blends the nostalgic charisma of early-2000s pop-punk with the emotional edge and polish that define My Side of Paradise’s evolving sound.
The single also features an iconic guest performance from Jaret Reddick, frontman of pop-punk legends Bowling For Soup, whose signature voice helped shape the very genre My Side of Paradise draws inspiration from.
“This song is us having fun and embracing our more poppy roots,” says My Side of Paradise. “We’ve released heavy songs and emotional songs, but ‘All My Exes’ shows that we can also laugh at ourselves. Having Jaret Reddick on it is surreal. His voice helped define this genre, and now he’s part of our story.”
Accompanying the single’s release is a visually inventive and humor-filled music video that takes viewers inside a therapy session gone completely off the rails. As the band’s frontman confronts his past relationships, reality begins to unravel, the waiting room morphs into a live performance, exes start to appear from thin air, and the therapist is revealed to be Jaret Reddick himself, video-calling in from a tropical getaway.
Due to Reddick’s touring schedule (and with his full blessing), the band took a cutting-edge creative approach, using AI technology to bring him into the video. By combining Midjourney for imagery with Kling for motion, prop integration, and lip-syncing, the team created a remarkably lifelike AI-generated version of Reddick that blurs the line between the real and the surreal.
The result is a tongue-in-cheek, emotionally charged, and visually stunning video, a perfect mirror of the song’s themes of self-awareness, chaos, and finding humor in heartbreak.
