Rina Sawayama is soaring to new heights in her new single.

The new single 'Catch Me In The Air' is an uplifting pop anthem written dedicated to Sawayama's mother who raised her as a single parent. "I really wanted to write about this weird relationship with single parents – you do catch each other in the air,” Sawayama explains in a press release.

In a separate Instagram post honouring her mother, the Japanese-British artist elaborates on the song's personal message. "I wrote Catch Me In The Air across 2020-2021, at a time when a lot of people around me were having children or thinking of having children. It made me think of the pressures that parents go through when raising a child. I put myself in my mum‘s shoes." she says.
