Background and release

Cameron hinted at releasing new music in September in an interview with E! News in August 2019.[3] She later confirmed that she would be releasing music at the end of September on September 23, 2019, via her social media.[4] She formally announced the release of both "Bloodshot" and "Waste" on September 25, 2019.[5] It was released on September 27, 2019.

Cameron described the song to Billboard, saying: "'Bloodshot' is less specific. I am very known by my label to say 'I hate a breakup song,' which I don't anticipate changing anytime soon. To me, they're boring and they make me itchy. What I love about 'Bloodshot' is that it's not necessarily about a breakup, but it is definitely about a loss of some kind. For me, it's about loss, which I am always trying to put to lyrics."[6]

Critical reception

Billie Nilles from E! News complimented the song, saying "with its woozy synths and haunted vocal, that stands out as our favorite".[7]
