Hannah Diamond returns with "Affirmations"
The track is her first release of the year, following 2022's standalone single, "Staring At The Ceiling".
"Affirmations" was produced with Scritti Politti’s David Gamson (Kesha, Chaka Khan, Charli XCX).
“This one particular day we were on Zoom and my carefully placed camera angle in my bedroom had accidentally shifted to reveal my 'wall of self esteem.' It's a wall of affirmations I put together when I was at a really low point and had a really negative view of myself," Diamond explains of the song's origins.
"I decided that I would every day when I was struggling write five good things about myself and add them to my wall. Through the window of the Zoom, I became aware that my wall might look like a wall of madness, so I explained to Dave what it was. He was super supportive and after a long chat he said, ‘hey "Affirmations" – great song title’”
"Affirmations" follows Diamond's standalone single "Staring At The Ceiling" and her 2019 debut Reflections, which featured hits "Concrete Angel" and a reimagined version of her track "Fade Away." In 2020, she released the Reflections Remixes EP with revamped versions of debut album tracks by fellow pop contemporaries Dylan Brady, umru, Palmistry, Bladee, Mechatok, and Yung Sherman.
"Affirmations" is out now via PC Music.
