Bryson Tiller Earns RIAA 6x Platinum for "Right My Wrongs"

British singer-songwriter Maisie Peters has released two new singles, "You You You" and "Audrey Hepburn," out now via Gingerbread Man Records/Atlantic Records. The tracks are her first new original music since the release of her 2023 album, The Good Witch.

The singles follow a landmark year for Peters, who became the youngest solo British female artist in nearly a decade to score a No. 1 album in the U.K. She also headlined Wembley Arena and served as an opening act on The Eras Tour. The new songs signal the next chapter for the artist and offer a first look at her upcoming third studio album.

Peters explained the connection between the two tonally different songs in a statement. "'Audrey Hepburn' is a song that for me defines this album, and my life in recent times," she said. "It's about how love gave me an inner peace, calm, strength and confidence... 'You You You' is about the darkest trench of my last heartbreak, a song I wrote very much in retrospect... Neither could have existed without the other, so I'm so glad everyone is getting to experience them at the same time."

To celebrate the new music, Peters has scheduled intimate comeback shows at EartH Hackney in London and the Music Hall of Williamsburg in New York for Oct. 15. According to the announcement, both performances sold out immediately.

"You You You" was written by Maisie Peters and Alysa Vanderheym and produced by Peters, Vanderheym, and Ian Fitchuk. "Audrey Hepburn" was written by Peters and Joe Rubel and produced by Peters, Rubel, and Fitchuk.
