London/Barcelona-based LALA HAYDEN announces her new EP Queen of Midnight, out May 8 via Goldun Egg and shares new single ‘GOODTHING’.

Produced by Jake Gosling (Lady Gaga, Paloma Faith), ‘GOODTHING’ is a stark alt-pop examination of self-sabotage. Written during pregnancy and early motherhood, the track forms part of an EP that documents both the intensity of new life and the psychological shifts that accompany it, as identity begins to recalibrate.

Speaking on the release, LALA HAYDEN said: “I feel like I’m always one bad decision away from completely sabotaging everything in my life. It feels like most of the time I’m living in a bubble that can’t last, constantly treading a fine line that could break at any moment. The sabotaging part in me is so loud, especially in times when I’m sleep deprived, hormonal, or feeling disconnected from my surroundings. GOODTHING is a story of intimacy and absence, where love lingers in empty rooms, in memory, and in the quiet realisation that sometimes, the hardest thing isn’t losing something good but realising you’re the reason it never lasts.”

Drawing inspiration from films such as The Dreamers, Blue Is the Warmest Colour and Paris, Texas – ‘GOODTHING’ explores the tension of holding something real, while slowly pulling away from it.
