Fresh from performing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (watch HERE), Maisie Peters has unveiled the official music video for her new single, ‘Lost The Breakup’.
Recently shot on the vibrant streets of Tokyo whilst Maisie was on tour, the Mia Barnes-directed visual is a symbolic night-time journey of getting over a breakup, traversing feelings of fragility, confusion, solitude and eventual euphoria.
Lifted from her hotly-anticipated new album, ‘The Good Witch’ – out June 16th via Gingerbread Man Records/Asylum – ‘Lost The Breakup’ forms the latest taste of Maisie’s second full-length record.
Describing ‘The Good Witch’ as her “own twisted version of a breakup album”, Maisie shared first single ‘Body Better’ in January – a vulnerable track inspired by the superficial insecurities that arose in the aftermath of a breakup (explored further in a self-penned essay for Glamour UK).
Now, she shares another snapshot of her heartbreak journey in the form of the Oscar Görres-produced ‘Lost The Breakup’, a fantasy of the moment she realises she’s come off better than her ex.
“If Body Better was me at my lowest, Lost The Breakup was me clawing my way back up and out”, Maisie shares. “It feels like dressing up in sequins and going to a party with your best friends, like cheap champagne and smudged lipstick and burgers on the floor at 3am. It’s a manifestation song and maybe if you sing it, it will come true (it did for me)”.
With another packed live schedule in 2023, Maisie will play a sold-out show at Hammersmith’s Eventim Apollo on 27th April, a headline slot at Liverpool’s Sound City on 30th April and a sold-out homecoming show at Brighton Dome as part of The Great Escape Festival on 12th May, where she’s confirmed as one of the two 2023 Spotlight Shows alongside Arlo Parks.
