“new ground” is an upbeat anthem with a bite. It addresses those who have left her behind. daine sings, “I’m moving on to the finer things/Whatever we had I made it disappear/’Cause this shit is fucking over like your dead career.”
The visual features members of the Nocturne community, a group of people formed from daine‘s online parties of the same name.
