Must-listen: Holly Humberstone's new song 'Please Don’t Leave Just Yet'.

Holly Humberstone has today shared a new song, 'Please Don’t Leave Just Yet', co-written and co-produced by The 1975’s Matty Healy, and the latest single from Humberstone's forthcoming second EP, 'The Walls Are Way Too Thin', set to be released on November 5th.

About her new EP, Humberstone says: "This EP represents a feeling of being lost. It’s the kind of lost that makes you question who you are and where you belong. So lost that someone might need to find you again because you can’t find yourself. That’s how it felt to move to Liverpool, then London, and be in transit between cities and never settling."

And about 'Please Don’t Leave Just Yet', Humberstone explains: "The song is about wanting someone to stay so badly, even if only for five more minutes, because you know how much it’ll hurt when they leave. I think the desperation in the words really sums up how I was feeling at the time and how so many people must’ve been feeling last year when we were all completely starved of human connection! I often write songs with a bit of a visual in my head, and I kept picturing solitary places, like drifting far out to sea, so far that you can’t find a way back, or old deserted cargo shipping yards with all the lights at the edge of the city."
