Miranda Faul returns with cathartic new single 'Holding Me Back'

Following the critical success of her debut EP 'Rise & Run', rising alt-pop singer-songwriter Miranda Faul is back with her latest single 'Holding Me Back'. The track marks a new chapter for the UK-based artist, blending intimate storytelling with bold, glimmering production.

Produced by Willem van Dijk in The Hague, 'Holding Me Back' began life as a stripped-back waltz before evolving into an upbeat, emotionally layered alt-pop gem. “It’s a song about overwhelming, suffocating love,” Faul explains. “You know someone’s hurting you, but you can’t break free. It came from a poem I wrote about family, but I reimagined it through the lens of love.”

With its shimmering sound and raw lyricism, 'Holding Me Back' captures Miranda Faul’s signature contrast of sparkling melodies with darker, heartfelt undercurrents. It’s a track that’s as fun as it is gutting, and one that’s sure to strike a chord.
