This heart-wrenching song depicts a difficult, scary time in Mikey Ferrari's life and is a way to connect with people that had, or are going through the same struggles.

Mikey Ferrari says:
I wrote Oxycontin in an effort to depict a very difficult and scary time in my life, and to remind myself to never go back to that place again. The response to sharing a clip of the song was eye-opening, as I started hearing from people that had lost loved ones or struggled themselves in some way from the opioid epidemic. I decided to open up an email account for people to share their stories in a safe space. Having the privilege to connect to other people about my struggle and their own has been the most difficult yet rewarding part of making music for me thus far.
