Georgia Lines has released her new single “Julia”.
It’s the second taste of her upcoming EP The Guest House, due out Friday, August 29th.
“The song doesn’t take itself too seriously,” says Lines. “It feels like you’ve accidentally wandered into the middle of a soap opera.”
According to the Aotearoa singer-songwriter, “Julia” captures a relatable emotional twist: “We’ve all had that moment with an ex. Maybe we don’t say it out loud, but deep down we’re thinking, ‘You can date anyone… just not her.’ ‘Julia’ taps into that exact feeling, but with a sense of humour about it.
“It was actually inspired by a dream I had, twice in the same night, where I found out an ex was seeing the one girl I secretly hoped he wouldn’t end up with. Classic dream logic, but even in my dream my response was ridiculous.”
The track’s video was filmed at a farmhouse in Manawatū, on New Zealand’s lower North Island. “It’s simple, fun and doesn’t take itself too seriously, just like the song. There’s no big narrative or elaborate storyline, it just really leans into performance, letting the personality of the song be the main character,” says Georgia.

“Julia” follows the recent release of “Wonderful Life“. Both songs were co-written and produced by British artist Matt Hales (aka Aqualung), and will appear on The Guest House EP. “I’m so deeply proud of this project Matt and I made together,” says Lines. “It’s honest, it’s human, it’s fun, and it feels like the most perfect next step after the album. These songs hold so much of where I am right now, both personally and creatively.”
Lines has started 2025 on a high, earning four nominations at this year’s Aotearoa Music Awards.
She’s also heading across the Tasman for two Australian headline shows in July: Thursday, July 24th at Wesley Anne in Melbourne, and Friday, July 25th at LOW 302 in Sydney.
