RAGS AND RICHES unveils a song of memories in their recent release "Misbehave"

American alt-pop duo RAGS AND RICHES, which consists of Tanner Whitt and Peyton Whitt, taps into a song that knows when to be serious and when not to, with a playful new release, “Misbehave,” that feels thoughtful, bold, and emotionally familiar.

“Misbehave” kicks off a new direction for the duo’s latest chapter, pulling sonic inspiration from the memories of the 1990s and 2000s. That throwback influence makes the track instantly recognizable without feeling stuck in the past. RAGS AND RICHES uses the era as a setting for a story that feels timeless about two people in a relationship that has gone stale, looking for ways to bring the spark back.

The song naturally shifts from humor to sexiness to more serious emotional moments, giving it a personality that feels less like a shiny, polished relationship fantasy and more like a messy, relatable attempt to reconnect.

“Misbehave” was written by Peyton Alan Whitt, Austin Jones, Sam Moses, Tanner Whitt, and DeMarko Murphy, and its charm comes from those contrasting moods. “Misbehave” uses memories to spin a story about chemistry, familiarity, and the desire to shake things up when something once exciting feels routine.
