The Bachelor's Jed McIntosh releases emotional new single after his season of the dating show was postponed until 2023: 'Please just let me drown'

Musician-turned-Bachelor star Jed McIntosh has released a new single following the news his season of the Channel 10 dating show has been postponed until 2023. 

The Melbourne rocker's new song, titled Drown, was released over the weekend and sees the 25-year-old croon about a dark time in his life. 

'I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be here now, but your grace has followed me around where I go,' the peroxide blond reality star sings.  

'I said I'll never go back again, but I went. I went back, it got really bad. I'm so sorry dad, please don't be mad, I couldn't help being sad.'

'I cry so hard when no one's around, flood of tears, please God just let me drown.'

Jed is one of three male suitors to appearing on The Bachelor season ten, joining fellow leading men Felix Von Hofe and Thomas Malucelli. 

The upcoming season was meant to air this year, but last month Daily Mail Australia revealed that fans will have to wait until 2023. 

'Ten have made the call to delay the show until early 2023 so they can focus on promoting The Real Love Boat,' a source revealed. 

'I don't see them airing reality dating shows back-to-back and there's only 10 ratings weeks left... they would rather hold it and give it the publicity it needs.'

Both the suitors and contestants will be now able to access their social media accounts after they were taken off them by the network ahead of the show going to air. 

It comes after Daily Mail Australia revealed Jed has secured a deal with international record label ACTS.

The aspiring hitmaker will relocate to Los Angeles in April, where he will launch the label's new Rock/Alternative division and take on the role of head of global A&R.

'With the rise in music from genres in the punk, punk pop, rock and alt scene, ACTS have focused heavily on uplifting artists that are not typically mainstream,' Jed told The Herald Sun of his new gig.

'I am excited to help grow the confidence of up-and-coming artists that don't fit into the mainstream music scene.

'Most don't feel like they have a place, so with this new joint venture, artists like myself who are left of centre can find a family and a home to create beautiful expressive art with no boundaries; just full support.' 

This won't be the tattooed rocker's first trip to LA.

McIntosh told The Gazette he had just returned home following a trip to the U.S. where he jammed with Lenny Kravitz and Sting at a private house party in LA.

He had been invited to the party by Brisbane rocker Ash Minor. The pair struck up a friendship at a concert and Jed is now working on his new album. 

'It's what you know and who you know,' said Jed, who counts Pharrell Williams as 'one of my biggest connections' in the industry.

His big break came when he was a fill-in drummer for Kylie Minogue at age 15.
