Duncan Laurence has released "Heal Me," a new single that pairs sweeping string and orchestral arrangements with electronic production, out November 6, 2026 on Epic Records. The track follows his summer 2026 single "New To You" and continues the emotional thread Laurence has been pulling on throughout this chapter of his career.

The song opens with a classical-inspired arrangement before building into a higher-energy sound. Lyrically, it centers on the experience of feeling lost and disconnected, and finding a person who helps you find your footing again. The chorus asks directly: "How do you heal me? How do you pick up the broken glass? How do you put all the pieces back?"

In a statement, Laurence described the track this way: "At its core, 'Heal Me' is a love song. But more than anything, it's a song about finding yourself. About knowing it's okay to lose track of who you are sometimes, and to ask for help. Not becoming someone new. Just finally feeling safe enough to be myself again."

No producer credit was included in the release materials.

Who Is Duncan Laurence and What He Released Before "Heal Me"

Duncan Laurence is a Netherlands-born, Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, pianist, and producer. He won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2019 representing the Netherlands with "Arcade," which went on to reach audiences well beyond the contest and became one of the more widely streamed Eurovision winners in the event's history. His debut album, Small Town Boy, drew on that piano-driven, emotionally direct sound. His 2023 album Skyboy pushed his production style further into electronic territory.

"New To You," released in summer 2026, was the first signal of this current run of music. "Heal Me" is the second, and according to the press release, it builds on the themes of love and connection introduced in that earlier track. Whether these singles are pointing toward a full-length project has not been confirmed in the release materials.

Laurence's songwriting has consistently worked in the space between emotional exposure and pop craft. "Heal Me" fits that pattern while introducing a bigger sonic contrast, moving from classical strings to electronic energy within the same track.

Where to Stream "Heal Me" and What Duncan Laurence Has Coming Up

"Heal Me" is available now on streaming platforms including Spotify. No specific album, EP, or tour dates were announced alongside the single. No live dates have been confirmed in the release, so no shows are listed here.

For updates on upcoming releases and shows, follow Duncan Laurence on Instagram, TikTok, X, and Spotify. Press inquiries go to Epic Records contacts Ayanna Wilks and Cleo Riley, or The Chamber Group's Shannon Atran and Josh Kenny.

If you are an independent artist watching how Laurence is rolling out this campaign, one thing worth noting is the pacing. Rather than dropping everything at once, he released "New To You" in the summer and is now following it with a thematically connected single months later. Each release gives press and playlists a fresh entry point while reinforcing the same emotional story. That kind of sequenced rollout is something any independent artist can plan without a major label budget.
