“‘It’s Not That Funny’ relates to trying to convince your therapist you’re funny and that anything that’s happened to you wasn’t all that bad.”

"The seed for 'In a Song' started sprouting in the spring of 2023 as I navigated life in Amsterdam, moving between our sailboat home, subrents along the canals, and the boatyard.”

“I wrote this song when I stopped trying to fight my thoughts and started listening to them. It’s about learning how to exist with my mental health instead of against it, and finding peace in that.”

“It’s about releasing shame and reclaiming power, I want women to feel anger as something validating and energising, and I want men to know this song is calling on them to take responsibility.”

“I think the song, even though it stemmed from a sad time, is a reminder and dedication to anyone who’s ever felt lonely (all of us) and a reminder that we never are alone. Community is everything.”

“This song is about the emotional crash that happens when you stop running from yourself. When you finally let everything you’ve been holding in rise to the surface, it can completely flood you.”

“‘Come A Day’ lives in the space between hurt and healing. It’s about moving through pain while holding onto the belief that it won’t last forever.”

“It had to feel sexy, but with desperation underneath. It’s about performing confidence while pushing through your own inhibitions to forge a new sense of self and sensuality.”

“It’s about knowing you pushed someone to their limits, but also knowing it was true to who you are.”

“It’s a Frankenstein production in the best way. I wanted to explore my sound, see how other people work, and figure out what I want for the next body of work.”

“This EP is for yearners, for the insecure, and for anyone fighting battles in their head. I’ve learned so much about myself through writing it — including accepting the uglier parts of who I am.”

“It’s about not being ready to feel my feelings. Like life is happening on the other side of a heavy curtain — like each day is a drill for the real thing.”

“This song has a way of comforting me, not just as a reminder of my friend, but by saying there’s hope in times of loss and disappointment. At the end of that chorus I’m still dancing, still asking “will you shine for me”? And every year the Sunflowers come back and follow through.”

“This song has a very specific sense of place for me, but it’s also about looking back. […] I wanted to create a memory for people to get lost in… it’s a bit of a time capsule.”

Brighton-based indie-pop newcomer Mia Langridge returns with her vibrant new single Birthday Party, already a standout favourite at her live shows and her third release in a breakthrough year.

“The Darling Song is about falling in love from afar. What begins as harmless admiration spirals into fantasies of a life together — before desperation takes over, and all you want is to hear them call you ‘darling,’ even just once.”

“This song is about finding strength and safety in your own body. Haters will hate, but we keep going.”

“We turned this small acoustic song upside down into this powerful statement. It’s about not being heard as a woman — being called ‘too much’ or ‘too loud’, and learning to stop shrinking yourself.”

“When you start to feel love again after being so hurt for so long, ahh! It feels so good but…it’s vulnerable and scary. The anxious/avoidant attachment cycle is being tested and put to work again.”

“[Local Girl, Always Tired] is about that feeling: being stuck in a small town that doesn’t align with who you are, dreaming of a bigger life, aching to escape.”
