Australian alt-pop singer AViVA has dropped their new song “Melancholy” today.

The single comes with a music video directed by the artist and Jefferton James. When it comes to the track, AViVA said:

“Seemingly cheerful and upbeat from the outside, it doesn’t matter what makes you feel that way, sometimes feeling down is the only way you can feel, but the power of the last line ‘it will never be the same’ is where the core message of the song lies. Even though after negative experiences things often aren’t the same, we are always free to learn and grow from our experiences. Feeling melancholy, like so many feelings, is just a temporary state. Things will, as they always do, get better.”

“Melancholy” is available on digital services right now. On September 28, AViVA will release their debut novel SELF/LESS, which follows 17-year-old protagonist Teddy in their journey through a dystopian society.
