Hannah Grae has dropped new single “Better Now You’re Gone” alongside the announcement of her forthcoming album Nothing Lasts Forever, arriving on March 15th. The Welsh artist has also shared a video for the track, directed by Lola Webster, the video depicts the reality of adulthood while on a night out in comparison to Hannah’s high expectations.

Hannah Grae has has toured across the UK and Europe, including performances at Glastonbury, The Great Escape, Liverpool Sound City, Rock En Seine (Paris), Pukkelpop Festival (Belgium), Reading & Leeds Festival, and many more.

Commenting on the new track, Hannah says, “’Better Now You’re Gone’ is about that stage of a breakup where you’re trying to convince yourself that you’re better off without them. The song starts in an extremely convincing way and it’s almost as if I truly believe that I’m better off. But as the song unravels, it becomes a bit clearer that maybe that’s not the case at all. It’s such a fun song and it’s one of my favourites that I’ve ever written. It’s full of denial and regret; my perfect idea of a breakup anthem. It feels so authentic to me and my chaotic mind and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”

Talking about the upcoming release, Hannah says, “Nothing Lasts Forever is a body of work about my first year living away from home. I was nineteen/twenty and completely in the deep end. My life did a full 180 in the ways I had always dreamed. But I was so unhappy. I threw every single part of myself into this project, almost unhealthily. It was a huge distraction for me and I couldn’t be prouder of the outcome that came from a true breakdown. The project is such a rollercoaster. It ranges from sassy and carefree songs about my first ever big breakup, to heartbreaking ballads about living my dream that suddenly felt like a nightmare. There are songs about naivety, grief, guilt, temptation, and a pretty dramatic murder mystery… There is no stone unturned on this project. I couldn’t have put more of myself into it and it feels like an extension of me. It’s an ode to the fever dream that was 2022, and although nothing lasts forever, my love for this body of work just might.”
