After announcing the release on Monday via social media, Peters teased fans with details of how she wrote the track, cryptic lyrics, and even the first verse of the song. Her followers loved the post and connected with the lyrics, as with every song this talented artist creates. She continues to further connect with fans by answering questions and joking with fans about the song on Twitter.
Along with the single, fans can watch the lyric video on YouTube. It has gained almost 1,000 views and shows Peters at her bedroom desk turning through a notebook where she has written the lyrics. The idea appears to come from the way in which she penned the song, making “melodramatic diary entries” in her iPhone notes. Peters is always very open about her songs and her process, writing about her personal experiences, which is what makes her relatable to so many.
Maisie Peters puts out track after track, with ‘Birds Of Prey’ soundtrack song ‘Smile’ only out since February 2020, with 3 million plays on Spotify. Her EP ‘It’s Your Bed Babe, It’s Your Funeral’ was released in 2019. The singer-songwriter is set to support Niall Horan on his “Nice To Meet Ya Tour” at the end of the year. Find tickets on his official website.
Posting original music on YouTube in 2015, Peters gained popularity over the next few years, releasing two singles independently before signing with Atlantic Records. Her YouTube channel has now reached 76,000 subscribers from her self-described “emo girl pop”. With her record company, the artist has also put out two more singles including ‘Worst Of You’ which has over 62 million streams on Spotify, as well as two EPs. On YouTube, her most viewed video is ‘Stay Young’, a single release in 2019.
