Paige returns today with “Twenties”, her first new release of 2025 and the lead single from her upcoming EP Paigesspace.
Co-produced by Butter Bath and Purple Drapes, “Twenties” introduces a new chapter for Paige, blending her trademark vulnerability with a lighter, more pop-leaning sound. The song reflects on the rapid pace of young adulthood and the urge to slow down and take it all in.
“I wrote this song about how fast my life has moved and how I wish I spent more time enjoying my twenties,” she says. “I wish I took time to look around with gratitude and see that everything is all working out well.”
Accompanying the single is a sunlit visualiser, showing the Auckland singer-songwriter dancing across open hillsides beneath wide blue skies, captured by a drifting drone camera—a fitting companion to the song’s reflective tone. You can check it out above.
The cover art has also been revealed: a set of car keys adorned with a New York red apple keychain, a nod to nostalgia and motion.
“Twenties” is Paige’s first release since her 2023 debut album KING CLOWN, a punchy pop record largely written by Paige and produced by Simon Gooding. The album featured singles like “Aquarian”, “California”, and the whimsical “Carasoul”, which was spotlighted in our weekly New Zealand music round-up.
The album earned her nominations for Album of the Year and Best Pop Act at the 2024 Aotearoa Music Awards, and she previously won Best Māori Female Solo Artist at the 2021 Waiata Māori Music Awards.
