British singer Raye has released her latest song, “Nightingale Lane,” the second single from her upcoming album, This Album May Contain Hope, scheduled for release on March 27.
New Single Reflects on Heartbreak
Produced by Raye alongside Tom Richards, “Nightingale Lane” explores themes of heartbreak, described by the artist as “the greatest heartbreak I’ve ever known.” The song’s title is derived from a street in south London.
The lyrics include the lines, “Somebody loved me once/ and someday somebody will again,” and “Like the way you loved me/ on Nightingale Lane/ although we never made it/ stranger, you showed me it’s true/ I’m capable of loving someone the way I loved you.”
“Nightingale Lane” follows the September release of Raye’s single “Where Is My Husband!”
A Message of Hope Through Music
Raye has described her music as “medicine,” stating, “I guess I’m in the process of making medicine for myself that I can share with the world.” She hopes the album will offer comfort, saying she wants to create “something that is a hug, bed or soft place for that person who needs it.”
Last year, the release of her second album was delayed after her car, containing her songwriting books, was stolen. However, in October, the car – and her books – were recovered, with Raye noting that nothing had been taken from the vehicle.
Raye is currently on a 51-date arena tour, This Tour May Contain New Music, which began last month and will include performances in Europe, the U.K., and the United States. The tour was named one of the most anticipated of 2026.
