ALYSSA REID TEAMS UP WITH BACKSTREET BOYS' HOWIE DOROUGH FOR NEW SINGLE "HONEY BUTTER"

Multi-platinum pop artist and songwriter Alyssa Reid is bringing a little sweetness to summer with her new single "Honey Butter," available today via Wax Records. Blending flirty lyrics with irresistible pop hooks, the track captures the kind of chemistry that's impossible to fake. Warm, playful, and effortlessly confident, "Honey Butter" leans into the thrill of attraction without ever taking itself too seriously.

Originally written during an international songwriting camp in Thailand, "Honey Butter" came together in a writing session with acclaimed songwriter and Backstreet Boys member Howie Dorough. While the collaboration brought together two accomplished pop writers with decades of combined experience, the finished track remains unmistakably Reid - equal parts infectious, self-assured, and built around the kind of undeniable hooks that have become her trademark.

Over the past decade, Reid has quietly established herself as one of Canada's most accomplished pop songwriters. Beyond earning multi-platinum success with her own catalogue, she's penned songs for artists including Virginia to Vegas, bülow, and Alessia Cara, with her songwriting credits now surpassing 500 million streams. From international songwriting camps to cross-cultural collaborations like last year's "UP" with South Korean artist oceanfromtheblue, Reid has continued to expand both her creative reach and her perspective without losing the honesty and melodic instinct that first connected with audiences.

Following recent releases including "Don't Sing This Song," "seven," "Never Going Home," and "Put Your Phone Down," "Honey Butter" offers another glimpse into Reid's evolution as both an artist and songwriter. Confident, carefree, and undeniably catchy, it's a reminder that some of the strongest pop songs don't need to overcomplicate things - they just need the right chemistry.
