The six-track EP features Maisie vocals and melodies that will have you humming for hours.

The opening track, “This Is On You”, is a sassy bop about letting go of the person who took you for granted. Released as her third single of 2019, lyrics from the chorus became the title of the EP. “Who gave it all, and held you up / When nobody else gave a fuck? / Who bailed you out? / That was all me,” Maisie sings sweetly, before putting the responsibility rightly back on their shoulders: “And you need me now but I’m clocking out / So this is on you.”

“Adore You” sees her take a more poppy turn. A perfect radio play, the tune features a summery rhythm, quick, upbeat guitar chords and breathy, happy lyrics such as, “So high that I am floating / So good that I’m outta my head / So low baby I was hurtin’ / You make it better again.”

“Take Care of Yourself”, is a sentimental, acoustic-style ode to a friend who always puts on a brave face and lacks confidence in themselves: “I hate how you talk to yourself / It’s not weak if you need to be held.”

“April Showers” is lyrically a very classic Maisie styled track lamenting an ex moving on with someone new. “When April showers / You wash her hair / She’s got your heart inside her hands / As the water falls / I bet it’s gonna wash out every thought you ever had of me.” Melodically, it features vocoder-tinged vocal layers and a heartbeat synth.

“Look At Me Now” is another heartbreak track, yet this one begins pared-back, with just Maisie’s delicate vocals and a piano the focus. “I’m making a fool of myself / While you’re happy with somebody else / Well look at me, look at me, look at me now.”

The final song on the EP, “Personal Best”, was written with Oh Wonder in their London home. You can feel their magnetic influence on the beautiful, nostalgic track about missing someone. “You’re my favourite escape in the city / And I don’t feel right unless you are here with me / All we are is the greatest of victories / You’re my personal best.”

Maisie shared an emotional Instagram post celebrating the release of her sophomore EP, writing, “It feels like this really concise portal to me aged 19 exactly right this minute right now and it makes me dizzy that this whole little family of us can now dance and scream and cry and stomp to it for the rest of our lives.”

From busking in the streets of Brighton to signing with Ed Sheeran’s label, Gingerbread Man Records, and racking up over half a billion global streams of her debut album You Signed Up For This, British-born Maisie Peters is well on her way. Her songs “Psycho,” “Brooklyn” and “Volcano,” featured on her debut album, have garnered praise from fans and industry insiders alike. She’s already been tapped to write and perform songs for the new soundtrack album for the Apple TV+ original series Trying, and released the lead track, “Funeral,” in 2021.

“You Signed Up For This” debuted at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart. Of the album, Masie shares, “It really is my (albeit not hugely long) life’s work and my proudest achievement; it is my favourite album maybe ever and whilst I may be biased, I really hope it goes into the world and becomes lots of other people’s favourite too.” Next stop for this 21-year-old phenom: world domination.

U.K. singer-songwriter Maisie Peters debuted an acoustic video for her song “Stay Young,” In the clip, the 19-year-old folk-pop singer performs a stripped-down version of the track in a cozy studio setting, with nothing more than an acoustic guitar and a keyboard.

“‘Stay Young’ is a song I wrote last summer, inspired by the song ‘America’ by Simon & Garfunkel,” Peters tells us. “I vividly remember listening to it on the train and being amazed by how clever and beautiful it is, how much of a literal and emotional journey it takes you on. I got to my session and the first verse of ‘Stay Young’ just poured out in practically one sentence as my friend and producer Sam Romans played the bass riff. To me, it says everything I want to say to everyone I love in my life, and hope it does the same to everyone who listens.”

Hot on the heels of her sold out debut headline UK tour earlier this year, this emerging young star, Maisie Peters, announced her biggest headline show to date at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on November 14th. She will also play Nottingham’s Rescue Rooms the night prior on November 13th. Tickets for both shows will be on sale at 10am on Friday 2nd August.

A gifted observational lyricist with a distinctively delicate voice, 19-year-old Peters continues to cement herself as one of the UK’s brightest new talents. She currently boasts over 150m global streams, 4.7m views on YouTube, 3.4m monthly Spotify listeners and has famous fans in global superstar Sam Smith and Lewis Capaldi. Most recently, her track ‘Feels Like This’ (taken from debut EP ‘Dressed Too Nice For A Jacket’) was named Scott Mills’ Tune of the Week on BBC Radio 1, becoming Maisie’s first entry to the iTunes Top 40 Chart in the process. A captivating live act, Peters has toured with the likes of George Ezra, Mahalia and Tom Walker. This summer has also seen her making the festival rounds, playing memorable sets to packed-out tents at Latitude, All Points East, The Great Escape and more.
