It's the latest cut from upcoming debut album 'Hope Handwritten', set for release on 28th February 2025 via PMR Records.

The new single marks the sixth track released from the forthcoming album, following 'I Can't Even Cry', 'Bad Love God', 'Thank Goodness', 'Shiver', and 'Jumping the Gun'.

Of 'Survival', Hope shares: "Most of the songs I write are driven by narrative, a story; anchored by a statement of some kind. When I sat down to write 'Survival', after having more than a few intimate moments with despair, I wanted to say something definitive about resilience. But while sitting with myself and the concept I found that I couldn't do that with any real authority. I kept thinking about my own privilege and about how much worse my circumstances could be. I realised eventually that the song couldn't be linear and that it had to be anchored by a question; 'what do I know of survival?'"

The 26-year-old West London artist, now based between London and LA, recently completed a sold-out tour with shows at London's O2 Academy Islington, New York and Los Angeles.
