In 2025, Courtney Hadwin made a powerful comeback with the release of her fiery new single, “D.N.A.” The song showcases everything fans love about the British rock prodigy: raw vocals, unapologetic attitude, and a fearless spirit. With this track, Courtney proves she’s not just back—she’s evolving, and she’s more in control of her voice and identity than ever before.
“D.N.A.” is more than just a song; it’s a declaration. It tells the story of someone who refuses to be boxed in, who embraces their flaws, their strengths, and their fire. The lyrics are bold and direct, with Courtney growling the chorus: “It’s in my blood, it’s in my bones / I was born this way, I stand alone.” The message is clear—this is who she is, and she’s no longer asking for permission to be loud, different, or defiant.
From the very first beat, “D.N.A.” grabs your attention with heavy guitar riffs, a thumping drum line, and a gritty, garage-rock energy that feels both nostalgic and fresh. There are hints of Janis Joplin, a touch of Amy Winehouse, and flashes of modern punk—yet the sound is undeniably Courtney’s. It’s loud, it’s proud, and it’s real.
Courtney’s vocal performance is nothing short of electric. She doesn’t just sing—she attacks each line with passion and precision. There’s a rasp in her voice that cuts through the noise, commanding attention with every note. During the bridge, she softens for a moment, almost whispering, before erupting into one final, explosive chorus. The emotional dynamics of her delivery mirror the song’s message: complex, chaotic, human.
The music video for “D.N.A.” further emphasizes the song’s rebellious energy. Shot in stark lighting with flashes of red and black, Courtney moves with confidence and intensity, surrounded by imagery of fire, chains, and mirrors—symbols of both confinement and self-reflection. Her style is edgy but elegant, wearing combat boots and a vintage leather jacket, channeling a kind of rock ‘n’ roll that feels timeless.
But perhaps the most powerful part of “D.N.A.” is what it represents for Courtney Hadwin as an artist. Since her breakout appearance on America’s Got Talent in 2018, she has fought to define herself on her own terms. Now in her early twenties, she’s no longer just the girl with the big voice—she’s a woman with a vision, a message, and the guts to tell her truth.
