Bay has been dropping new music since early this year, but didn\u2019t announce the EP ahead of its release. His first new music, a follow-up to last year\u2019s album <em>Electric Light,<\/em>&nbsp;came in February with \u201cPeer Pressure,\u201d a track <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/james-bay-julia-michaels-new-song-peer-pressure-799006\/\">featuring a collaboration<\/a> with Julia Michaels. Bay said of the song, \u201cI think it can be easy to stay very guarded in life, and not let anybody in, past your personal armor. These guards we all put up every day for different reasons. In writing \u2018Peer Pressure\u2019 Julia and I wanted to talk about how, when the right person comes along, they can break through any armor and with love, get straight to you. It\u2019s about that person who, no matter how much of a guard you hold up, finds their way through to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.2612244897959\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en\">As well as Bad, I want to share a new EP with you called Oh My Messy Mind.
