I can help with that. Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reports.
- Holly Humberstone released a new single titled Die Happy in November 2025, described as a gothic, cinematic love song with a dark-pop edge. It marks a new era for her, incorporating more mature, confident themes.[1][2][3]
- The single came alongside a music video directed by Silken Weinberg, and Humberstone spoke about exploring the thrill and danger of fully surrendering to love, drawing inspiration from dark fiction like Dracula and The Bloody Chamber.[3][5]
- She was previously wrapping up the Paint My Bedroom Black era and was touring extensively, including headline dates and an Australian leg with Sam Fender planned for late 2025 into 2026; Die Happy is positioned as the first taste of new material after a period away from releasing new music.[2][5]
If you’d like, I can pull a quick summary of critical reception and chart performance for Die Happy from available sources, and I can set up a short timeline of Holly Humberstone’s releases leading up to and including Die Happy.
