Ready to confront fear? Look no further than the emotion Zevia is delivering on her new ‘pain’s my only home’ anthem coming courtesy of Columbia Records.

Zevia’s new ‘pain’s my only home’ hits different

Slowing down the instrumental and letting the words speak volumes, Zevia comes through strong at the start of 2023 with her gripping audio gem.

Today, Zevia releases her brand-new single “pain’s my only home” via Columbia Records. On top of a delicate piano-driven track, complete with atmospheric rain sounds, Zevia confronts the voices in her head and reflects on her current mental state.

It’s more than a single for Zevia. She’s already dished on the motivation behind putting out the record to the masses.

“I wrote this when I was around 18 years old,” Zevia says. “From that age on, I started getting diagnosed with more mental health problems very fast that I learned to hide from those I love. I know people all ages can relate to this song, and I know it will make me feel less alone. Even though it’s 3 minutes long and a bunch of deep sentences, it’s almost saving my life in a way because of everything I put into it. I know by far this will always be a song I remember for the rest of my life and career, even with future songs down the road.”

What started out as a social media audio gem has turned into an official record for Ze-Ze.

“pain’s my only home” was originally teased on TikTok to bombastic fan reaction and follows the release of the singer-songwriter’s latest track “perfect.” This past summer in 2022, Zevia released a 10-track deluxe version of her debut EP we’re all sad here. The deluxe version features “why am i alive,” an acoustically rhythmic journey into Zevia’s mind as she wonders what her purpose truly is on this planet. Zevia independently released her debut EP we’re all sad here earlier last year, galvanizing a fan base of admirers who collectively embraced the rising star’s brand of beautifully brutal honesty. The project has over 82 million streams to date, fueled by cuts like “if depression gets the best of me” and “life, i’m over you.”
