New single out now!

The new single is the pair's first release of 2023, produced by Soren Andersen (Jack Savoretti, Amy Macdonald) and Lewis Gardiner (Ellie Goulding, Nick Jonas), this formidable production team builds on the pair’s stand-out brand of uplifting melodic pop.

Channelling catchy, high-energy musical influences like Jack Savoretti, Coldplay, Sigrid and Gabrielle Aplin, After The Love tells a familiar tale of heartbreak and asks the question: 'where do we turn to after the love runs cold?'. Many of us will relate to the lyrics about the ending of a relationship and why, at times, the reason is that we are simply 'travelling on different roads'.  The song showcases The Eves’ signature ingredients for writing infectious, anthemic pop with soaring vocals and a hook-laden chorus.

Marissa said: “We have always loved pop music, particularly songs that people can really relate to.  After The Love is an anthem for anyone who has faced the heartbreak of leaving a relationship because it has simply run its course.”

Caroline said: “Writing with Marissa always results in something special.  Creating pop music comes naturally to us, and I hope people will love the new track.  Relationships and heartbreak are universal themes that have spawned many an anthem.  We’ve worked so hard on this single and hope it’ll resonate with people”.

Lyrics:

Verse 1

You’re searching for a new kind of adventure 
You’re looking for the light to pull you through
I know that you are thinking it’s all over
Believe me there is so much more for you 

Pre-chorus

They held you down 
For too long now
Just walk away, just walk away 
Don’t worry now 
Your life is how you live it for today 

Chorus

So put your hands up now 
Let me hear you shout 
Hey-ey-ey, Hey-ey-ey
Put your hands up now
Let me hear you shout 
It’s a- it’s a brand new day
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey 

Verse 2
Youre thinking that the loving isn’t worth it
You say it’s better staying on your own 
You’ll never know if you don’t take a risk and 
Forever is too long to be alone 

Pre-chorus

They held you down 
For too long now
Just walk away, just walk away 
Don’t worry now 
Your life is how you live it for today 

Chorus

So put your hands up now 
Let me hear you shout 
Hey-ey-ey, Hey-ey-ey
Put your hands up now
Let me hear you shout 
It’s a- it’s a brand new day
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey 
It's a brand new day
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
