POP SINGER-SONGWRITER
SZANDRA MAYER
ANNOUNCES DEBUT EP
DUE OUT IN 2026
WITH SPARKLING
2000S ROM-COM-INSPIRED TRACK & LYRIC VIDEO
“WHEN YOU KNOW”
18-year-old South Florida via Los Angeles-based pop singer-songwriter Szandra Mayer announces her debut EP with shimmering, delicate track “When You Know” out now. While the official title and artwork will be revealed, Mayer promises a project that explores young womanhood through confessional lyricism and intimate, vibrant production as she aims to make other young women feel seen and heard.
Mayer looks at the making of the forthcoming project as a pivotal growth and learning experience as it documents her coming-of-age. Mayer explains, “This EP is a collection of entries from my teenage girl years, capturing everything I experienced and how it affected me. It explores my confusion, delusions, overthinking, and all the moments that helped me learn more about myself.
It’s so special to me because each of these songs talks about experiences not only I’ve gone through, but that many other young girls can relate to, and that’s the part that makes me most proud of it all.”
Proud to present a sparkling track that expresses herself fully and credits her producer for creating a welcoming, warm environment. Mayer shares, “‘When You Know’ is really special to me because it was one of the first times I could fully translate my emotions into a song. Though I’ve been writing for a while, this one felt the most like me since I wrote it by myself on piano in my bedroom.”
Listen: “When You Know“
On working with her producer, “Working with my producer, Áron, was such a new and inspiring experience. He genuinely taught me so much, and I got to be part of the process from beginning to end. Watching the song grow from a simple voice memo into a finished track was incredibly rewarding.”
On the serene lyric video set in a small town in Hungary, Mayer continues, “Filming the visualizer was such a fun experience. We shot it in a beautiful winery town in Hungary, and it truly felt like a fairytale. I even got to wear a tiny crown and daydream out the window. I think it perfectly captures the dreamy, bittersweet feeling of teenage love, along with the longing and wonder that come with it.’
Szandra Mayer’s swirling single “When You Know” is out now, and don’t miss her debut album due out next year.
