Olivia Dean released her new single “Lady Lady” on July 10, 2025, a centerpiece from her forthcoming album The Art of Loving. The track marks an evolution for the 26-year-old British singer-songwriter, known for her Mercury Prize-nominated debut Messy and Brit Award-winning breakthrough. Dean crafts an anthem centered on feminine power, trust in life’s journey, and personal transformation. Her signature vocals blend with dreamlike instrumentals produced by Zach Nahome, Aqualung, and Leon Michels.

“Lady Lady” reflects Dean’s coming-of-age experience. She examines shedding past identities – “All the things I couldn’t live without… I don’t need em now” – while embracing unexpected change. The song celebrates female intuition, declaring “That lady lady, she’s the man / I think she’s got a master plan.” Dean frames growth as peaceful acceptance of life’s path.
The black-and-white music video amplifies this narrative through movement. Royal Ballet principal Francesca Hayward leads an ensemble of young dancers, translating the transition from youth to womanhood into choreography. This artistic choice shifts focus from Dean to the dancers’ physical storytelling.
