Risk (song)

"Risk" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams from her second studio album, The Secret of Us (2024). It was released by Interscope Records on May 1, 2024, as the album's lead single. Abrams wrote the song with her friend, Audrey Hobert, in August 2023, and produced it with her frequent collaborator Aaron Dessner. It was recorded at Dessner's Long Pond Studio in the Hudson Valley and at a studio in Los Angeles.

"Risk" is a pop song driven by strings, guitar strumming, and jittery vocals. It is an energetic ballad about Abrams's infatuation with a man she has never met; it is sung like a breakup song. Music critics said the track drew comparisons to Taylor Swift, among other musicians. The track was positively received by music critics, who generally praised the song's chorus and melody. It reached the national charts of various countries and received certifications in Australia, Canada, Portugal, and the United Kingdom.

A music video directed by Hobert for "Risk" premiered alongside the song's release and depicts Abrams on a dark suburban street; she is shown drinking wine, crashing parties, and contemplating love. The song was released on vinyl on May 30, 2024, with "Close to You" serving as its B-side. Abrams performed "Risk" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The Today Show, and included it in the set list of the Secret of Us Tour (2024–2025) and in Swift's Eras Tour (2024).
