Kate's new single, Millions of Heartbeats, is the first release from her new album, which comes out on June 21. Speaking about the new track, Nash said: "'Millions of Heartbeats’ is a song about losing your spark. It can be difficult to find hope in a world that’s constantly bombarding you with bad news, chaos and capitalism. “It’s scary when you lose that spark and can’t lift yourself out of a pit. It can feel like that light you once had might never come back. The button to the song is that there’s millions of heartbeats on this planet and that’s the reason we have to try. All we have right now is Earth and each other. And that’s actually a lot. So just keep trying.”
She added: "It’s about that point in the pandemic where I had lost my spark for life. And I’m a pretty sparky person, so it was really sad to me." Other tracks on the new record look at mental health struggles and dealing with depression and anxiety.
Kate explained: "It’s natural for an artist to write about emotions and feelings and darkness. Also a lot of my fans suffer from depression too and I noticed it more when I was doing my livestream chats over lockdown. Not talking about it is not the solution. Being open and creating that community within my fanbase is really important."
