A dreamy collision of upbeat pop and lush melodies, the new single *[Valentine](https://onthemappr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=866374f77c3243c8b4c6c2e65&id=3113e16373&e=220f1bd8bb)* out today from Melbourne singer-songwriter *Tilly Fenton* is equally jubilant and vulnerable, showcasing *Tilly*’s effortless charm and sharp sensibilities.

Opening with billowing bliss, *Valentine* blossoms as acoustic guitars underpin *Tilly*’s honeyed vocals before crisp beats and ethereal elements propel the track into an upbeat dreamy pop wonderland. Nodding to the likes of *Lizzy McAlpine*’s intimate and conversational songwriting, *Lexi Jayde*’s charismatic stylings, and the energy of *boygenius *in the bridge, *Valentine* also, at its core, gently tugs at the heartstrings with *Tilly* lyrically detailing a resounding universal theme. *“Valentine is about craving the simplest kind of love—the kind that doesn’t take much, just presence, care, and honesty,” *shares* Tilly. “I wrote it during a time where I felt like my needs weren’t really being met in a relationship, and all I wanted was for that person to just show up for me, even in the smallest ways. It’s a reminder that even the bare minimum can mean a lot when it comes to love, and that those little moments can make all the difference.”*

For her sophomore single, following on from her debut *The Secret* which released earlier this year, *Tilly*joined forces with producer and mixer *Michael Belsar*, as well as drummer *Ben Ellingworth* and mastering by *Dale Becker*, with *Belsar* and *Ellingworth* in particular playing key roles in unlocking *Tilly*’s vision for *Valentine*. *“I worked on this song with my producer Michael Belsar, and drummer Ben Ellingworth,” *explains* Tilly. “It was actually the first full song the three of us made together, and we had so much fun bringing it to life. Valentine is me at my most confident – it’s slinky, cheeky, and the poppiest song I’ve written so far! It is more upbeat than my last single The Secret, with punchy drums and plucky dreamy guitars that drive the song.”*

Starting her musical journey at the age of seven while learning classical piano at school, *Tilly Fenton* went on to spend time during the COVID lockdowns teaching herself guitar and writing songs; *“it quickly became my little safe space,”Tilly* reveals. But after keeping her creative pursuits largely private, it would be after finishing school that *Tilly* went on to study music, which quickly gave way to unlocking the pathway to the release of two sparkling singles to date in 2025; and, as *Tilly* concludes, it’s via her latest track, *Valentine*, that her artistic vision takes full flight.

*“It feels amazing and so freeing to be releasing Valentine,” *says *Tilly. “It was the first song that really captured the vision and sound I had in my head for the whole project, so it feels really special. I’m really proud of this one, and I’m just so excited for everyone to finally hear it.”*

*Valentine *is out today.
