Gray wrote "Maniac," a "cathartic post break-up song dedicated to psychotic exes," after receiving a drunk text from his ex at midnight. "I wrote maniac in the shower after getting a midnight drunk sob text from my ex," he told Universal Music Group. "They'd been running all around town telling everyone that I was some freak who wouldn't leave them alone when in reality, they were the freak. They were the one acting like a maniac — sending strange late-night texts and showing up at my shows unannounced."
In the music video, Gray and "The End of the F***ing World" star Jessica Barden team up during a night shift at a cinema to fight off her ex-boyfriends, who've risen from the dead. Watch the video and listen to "Maniac" here.
