With her heartfelt new single ‘Everybody Falls Apart Sometimes’ marking Mental Health Awareness Month, Singer-songwriter REIGNS opens up about her most personal, vulnerable song yet – and the emotional story at its core.
Written in the aftermath of a close loss to mental health struggles, the track has already resonated deeply with fans who’ve heard early previews – setting the tone for an honest conversation about grief, connection, and offering a sense of solace for those lost in their own struggles.
Your new single, ‘Everybody Falls Apart Sometimes’, arrives this Friday, aligning with Mental Health Awareness Week. What’s the story behind it?
The story behind Everybody Falls Apart Sometimes is a really personal one for me. Written just after I lost someone close to me to their battles with mental health. The song reflects on the loss of someone taken far too soon, while remaining deeply relatable to anyone who has experienced loss in any form. At its heart, the song remembers someone whose light burned brightly, even as the weight of the world rested on their shoulders. It honours a life lived fully – intense, fearless, and unforgettable – while quietly acknowledging the unseen pressures that can shape a person’s journey.
Why is releasing this track such an important and meaningful moment for you, both personally and musically?
Releasing this one was so important to me personally because it came from an experience of loss and grief that I only seemed to find the words to describe my feelings when we wrote the song in the studio. Releasing it means a lot emotionally, but also knowing this song now has the power to get people talking about mental health and know they’re not alone is everything.
When was the track written, and how did the support from your devoted fanbase encourage you to finally unveil it? Why do you think listeners have connected so strongly with its story?
The early reactions from my followers were so incredible, from just playing it to them on my TikTok live streams, I was completely in awe of people sharing their stories with me and my followers (Rebels)on my live streams. It’s been beautifully emotional, and I just knew I had to release to start Mental Health Awareness Month.
How does the track’s sonic backdrop – a piano-led ballad that builds into a cinematic, orchestral swell – reflect its meaning?
I think the production and instrumentation of the song really capture the emotions that went into writing it. Keeping the vulnerability was something that was so important. The moment Dee and I sat in the studio and listened to the live string for the first time, we couldn’t stop crying, and we just knew that it was done!
What have you learned from writing such a deeply heartfelt song, and how has it shaped you as an artist moving forward?
I have absolutely learnt that music really can speak where words fail. The studio session where we created this one was almost therapeutic and a real moment of vulnerability and I really think creating my music and sharing it with my fans continues to teach me how being open can bring so many people together.
The track offers a sense of solace for those silently struggling, reminding them that help is always there. How do you channel that emotion into your performance?
I think the emotion naturally comes into my performance because of the subject of the song – I naturally get transported back to the time of creating it, which does make it hard, but equally witnessing so much love, support and community from people who have also connected to the song makes every bit of it worthwhile.
You’ll be supporting Rebecca Ferguson on her UK tour in June. What are you most looking forward to, and what can fans expect from the live performances?
I’m a massive fan of Rebecca Ferguson, so supporting her on tour is going to be insane! I’m actually going to be performing acoustically, which I’m really looking forward to because it gives fans the chance to hear my originals in a more intimate way, but on some incredible stages!
Looking ahead, does this single hint at the direction of your future music, or is it more of a standalone moment in your journey?
To be honest, I think the song definitely reflects my openness as an artist with my music but this particular song is definitely a standalone in its own right.
