"Black Eyes Blue" was Corey Taylor's first single as a solo artist, the opening statement from CMFT, the 2020 debut album he made outside his day jobs fronting the metal bands Slipknot and Stone Sour. Taylor pitched the record as a tour through genres his bands rarely touch, and the song arrived alongside "CMFT Must Be Stopped" to prove it: that one got tagged as rap rock, while Rolling Stone heard this one as power pop.
It moved fast, too, debuting at number 24 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart and 21 on Hot Hard Rock Songs after only a week, and it eventually climbed all the way to number one on Mainstream Rock. A lyric video came out with the song, and the full clip followed in August 2020.
