It’s time to mark your calendars for June 27 – Courtney Hadwin just teased her brand new single, “Die and Stay Pretty,” and it’s nothing short of breathtaking.
Known for her powerhouse vocals and a vintage-soul sound that turns heads instantly, Hadwin delivers once again in this sneak peek. The short clip may only offer a glimpse, but it’s enough to leave fans speechless. Her voice? Piercing. The emotion? Raw.
Watch the video below.
It feels like an arrow straight to the heart—anchored by haunting lyrics and a beautifully crafted melody that promises something truly special.
This is the latest reveal from Hadwin’s highly anticipated debut album, LITTLE MISS JAGGED, expected this September. And “Die and Stay Pretty” is already shaping up to be one of its crown jewels.
From the opening note, “Die and Stay Pretty” casts a spell. The stripped-down arrangement allows Hadwin’s raw, soulful tone to take center stage.
As the music builds, so does the emotional intensity—culminating in a teaser performance that fans are calling one of her most gripping yet. It’s a powerful combination of vulnerability and strength, wrapped in a voice that never tries too hard—because it doesn’t need to.
While Hadwin’s path to fame began with her explosive America’s Got Talent audition at just 13 years old, her journey has been anything but predictable. Rather than diving headfirst into the industry machine, she took a necessary step back—time to grow, evolve, and find her own artistic truth.
Her recent single “D.N.A.” marked a bold reintroduction to the world. Funky, unapologetic, and bursting with creative energy, the track showed that Hadwin had returned with purpose. Working alongside Grammy-winning producer Kevin Bowe, she’s carved out a sound that refuses to be boxed in.
“‘Die and Stay Pretty’ was a song I was very proud of, especially for its vulnerable lyrics,” Hadwin recently shared. “It was the first time I was completely honest with myself and opened up fully through music.”
And that honesty is exactly what comes through in this teaser. There’s no pretension here—just raw, unfiltered emotion wrapped in one of the most compelling voices of her generation.
So if you’re someone who craves authenticity in music—something that challenges, moves, and lingers long after the last note—you’ll want to be ready when “Die and Stay Pretty” drops on June 27.
