In a press statement, the critically-acclaimed singer shared, “’Heartache Generation’ is written by me, and it’s about being afraid of getting older and feeling overwhelmed with life that changes so quickly — an existential crisis that comes with anxiety and pressure. This is the first single after the album has been released and an introduction to what kind of direction I’m going for the next big release.”
