“When I was writing life at first sight, I never imagined it would have a life beyond being a sweet surprise for my sister on her big day,” Stewart shares. “But when I started playing it on tour and saw how it moved the crowd, I realised that this song could be the soundtrack for so many other people’s big life moments and knew I had to put it out. Seeing the reaction online to life at first sight has been deeply emotional, and I can’t wait to see what other moments this song helps bring to life.”

Listen to life at first sight below:

life at first sight follows the release of the 24-year-old’s debut album, bleeding heart. Written in between touring dates and amidst achieving international success, the album features Stewart’s massive hits blame’s on me currently sitting at almost 120 million Spotify streams, and i wish you cheated, which launched with a viral TikTok campaign that saw over 45 million views and led to his late-night TV debut performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Following his performance, the single became a Top 20 radio hit and broke into Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in Canada.

In addition, the album includes if you only knew, which Stewart debuted an emotional performance of on Late Night With Seth Meyers last December and was also named one of Rolling Stone’s “Songs You Need To Know.”

Following several sold-out headlining shows across North America, the UK and Europe, including London’s Lafayette, Stewart will conclude The Bleeding Hearts Tour in Luxembourg on Saturday, 29th June. He has previously toured with artists including Charlie Puth, Benson Boone and Eric Nam, as well as for his international headlining Blame’s On Me Tour, where he performed in front of his rapidly growing fan base that has expanded to over 500 million global streams, 325 million views on YouTube and 140 million likes on TikTok.

HIMALAYAS Drop Latest Single ‘Surrender’

HIMALAYAS have released their new single Surrender, the latest song to be taken from their forthcoming album BAD STAR out April 25th via Nettwerk Music Group. Surrender is a foreboding cavernous rock track which examines uncritical loyalty to individuals and organisations, and the willingness to blindly accept anything they say. It also speaks to the inability to see why others may think differently, leading to further division instead of cooperation to achieve a common goal.
