"Psycho" is a song by British singer-songwriter Maisie Peters, released on 2 July 2021 through Gingerbread Man Records as the second single from her debut studio album You Signed Up for This.
Reception The song has received praise for its "smarter" and light-hearted approach of the term "psycho"; this is in stark contrast to Ava Max's 2018 song "Sweet but Psycho" which attracted criticism from several mental health advocates for stigmatizing mental illnesses.
