Almost a year ago now, LA-based indie-pop artist Rosie Darling released her debut album, Lanterns. The 11-track project, which features hits like “Lost On You” and “Justify,” showcases Rosie’s confessional style of songwriting, immersing fans in an emotionally cathartic exploration of life and personal identity. Such moving music has drawn in over 250M streams around the globe and has earned praise from hitmakers like FLAUNT and V Magazine. Next year, fans will see Rosie Darling’s follow up to Lanterns, as she is expected to drop her sophomore album. For now, she is kicking off this new era with the release of “This Is Me Letting You Go.”
An encouraging single about healing and closure, “This Is Me Letting You Go” serves as a fitting anthem for those going through a breakup. Throughout the stripped-back indie pop track, Rosie Darling attempts to make peace with heartbreak. She sings, “Been trying not to think about you / And I hate that I do sometimes,” revealing that it is never easy to move forward. Yet, she finds a way to justify the situation, admitting, “But I am who I am and you are who you are / I guess that’s all we ever were,” and asking, “Who cares what could’ve been if it’s already over?” You can check it out below.
About “This Is Me Letting You Go,” Rosie Darling shares,
“This song is the first real deep breath after a tough breakup when you can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. It is solely about you and how you move through the grief that comes with ending a relationship, instead of focusing on the other person and their faults. Sometimes when a person defines so much of us in a relationship, you have to meet your new self post-breakup and redefine your life and your own choices – specifically, the choice to move forward despite the uncertainty.”
You can listen to “This Is Me Letting You Go” on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and SoundCloud.
