ARIA-nominated pop singer-songwriter Kita Alexander has dropped a new track built for an encore moment.
Titled “I Don’t Wanna Go Home”, the anthem arrives just days out from the start of her ‘Press Pause’ headline tour and continues the breezy, euphoric energy she brought to her recent single, “Press Pause”.
“I wrote this song entirely for all my fans,” Kita shares. “When we’re at a show together and it’s the last song in the set and none of us want it to end.”
With its chant-along chorus of, “I don’t wanna go home yet baby”, the track captures that heart-thumping, post-gig high and is sure to land as a live set favourite.
Kita kicks off her ‘Press Pause’ Australian tour this Friday, July 11th, at Melbourne’s Northcote Theatre, before heading to Brisbane (July 12th), Sydney (July 26th), Adelaide (August 8th) and Perth (August 15th). Full ticketing information is available via Live Nation.
The tour follows a whirlwind run of major shows this year: opening for Dua Lipa on her ‘Radical Optimism’ arena tour across Australia and New Zealand, showcasing at The Great Escape in the UK, and playing a sold-out headline show in London.
Back home, Kita’s star keeps rising. She’s the current face of Tourism Queensland’s “That Queensland Holiday Feeling” campaign, and is featured on the current cover of Cosmopolitan Australia.
