Some songs do not just sound honest; they feel like a scar that never healed. Die and Stay Pretty, Courtney Hadwin’s upcoming release holds that kind of weight. Set to arrive on June 27, the track is already stirring hearts after Courtney spoke about its meaning in a recent live stream. Inspired by a time when someone close to her chose addiction over connection, the song turns pain into poetry.
There is a quiet sadness behind the title, but also a sharp edge. Courtney described it as one of the most personal songs she has ever written, a reflection of the emotional wreckage that can result from someone choosing self-destruction. The song leans into themes of abandonment, beauty, and loss, asking heavy questions without easy answers. It does not seek revenge; it simply speaks the truth.
You’d rather die and stay pretty
Fans are already preparing to feel every word. Pre-save links have been shared and a growing wave of support surrounds the track. Courtney’s ability to transform real-life heartbreak into something meaningful is what sets her apart. Listeners do not just hear her songs, they recognize pieces of themselves in them. In her words, many find the voice they were missing.
That same emotional honesty reappears in “How Could You,” a recent acoustic performance that feels like a quiet storm. With only a guitar behind her, Courtney delivers lines that seem too real to be just lyrics. “Walk away so I could feel anything else” lands like a final breath after holding too much in. The performance does not ask for attention; it earns it by simply being true.
