We’re taking a look back at Zolita before her new album and it’s singles start dropping. Plus she’ll be touring this September! Breakout pop star Zolita has released the gut-wrenching single, “Grown Up.” The song appeared on her album, Queen of Hearts, out May 31, 2024, via AWAL/Sony Music. This single follows “All Girls Go to Heaven,” “Small Town Scandal” and “Bloodstream” released earlier this year. The pageant-esque slow burn “Bloodstream” is also reminiscent of 2018’s “Like Heaven,” which is listed on Billboard’s “30 Lesbian Love Songs.”
Zolita Singles to Know
On her single “Grown Up,” Zolita unleashes the blistering angst of a past relationship. The lesbian singer-songwriter sings, “I don’t get how you were having fun, I was way too young,” the music gathering fury with each repetition of the lyric.
“‘Grown Up’ is definitely the heaviest song on the album,” Zolita says in a statement. “It’s about a situation in my life that I never thought I was going to write about—or talk about. But it’s something that many women in my life have gone through in one way or another.”
Best known for her breakout success of her “Somebody I F*cked Once” trilogy in 2022, Zolita had plenty of viral moments starting with 2015’s “Explosion,” and even 2017’s “Fight Like a Girl,” which is a protest song with feminist themes inspired by the Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign. Now, the 29-year-old’s blend of dark pop and R&B is audibly Lady Gaga-inspired, stoked with witchcraft and other religious quirks.
