Eden Rain shares heartfelt piano ballad ‘Growing Pains’
The UK alt-pop artist explores the ache of emotional detachment on her latest single.
Leeds-born and London-based singer-songwriter Eden Rain returns with ‘Growing Pains,’ a stirring and unvarnished piano ballad that showcases her vulnerability and lyrical prowess. Released on June 18, 2025, via APOLLO Distribution, the single marks a raw departure from her more expansive recent work, offering a quiet, emotional exploration of what it means to love—and lose—deeply. Stripped of production flourishes, ‘Growing Pains’ places Eden’s vocals front and center. Accompanied only by sparse piano and the subtle creak of background noise, the track captures a lived-in, diary-like intimacy. It’s a sonic shift that complements the deeply personal subject matter: the quiet devastation of growing apart from someone who once meant everything, and the difficulty of letting go when the heart still clings.
“I wrote ‘Growing Pains’ with Iain Berryman and it just kind of tumbled out after I saw online that someone I used to be really really close to was moving on with their life- and I realised I didn’t know them anymore. I love so deeply and hungrily that once I care about someone, I just can’t let go. I’ll pine and pine and think about them forever… I think I’m even half waiting for them to hear this song and come back to me lol. After we wrote it, I felt honestly mortified-like I’d accidentally admitted to myself that I’m really bad at letting go, even when people have actually been pretty shitty to me. It felt kind of desperate, like… they probably don’t even think of me anymore. But I guess that’s what the song’s really about-holding on too tightly to something that’s already let go of you.”
To support the single, Eden has announced her next headline show at Oslo Hackney in London on Tuesday, October 14. Tickets are on sale now.
‘Growing Pains’ is out now.
