It’s her first solo release since 2024’s aptly-titled ‘work in progress’ project.

Holly Humberstone returns with darkly romantic new single 'Die Happy'

Breakout singer-songwriter Holly Humberstone is back, and she’s leaning into a spellbinding world of Gothic romance with new track ‘Die Happy’.

Since her 2023 debut album ‘Paint My Bedroom Black’, Holly has stepped fully into adulthood, and this new chapter - which acts as a follow up to last year’s ‘work in progress’ EP (clue’s in the name, we guess) - finds her exploring newfound stability, agency, and emotional maturity. 

“I wrote ‘Die Happy’ thinking about a fairytale at night, somewhere between driving fast with the windows down and wandering through a crumbling old house,” she has shared of her latest cut. “I took inspiration from The Bloody Chamber and Dracula and I wanted to show the feeling of throwing yourself into love fully and recklessly. There is danger in love.”

Dive headfirst into Holly’s intoxicating new world and watch the video for ‘Die Happy’ below.
