Ashe Releases Two New Songs “I Wanna Love You (But I Don't)” & “I hope you die first”
American singer-songwriter Ashe released two new songs “I Wanna Love You (But I Don't)” and “I hope you die first” on August 2, 2024.
Two songs were taken from her upcoming third studio album “Willson”, following "Running Out of Time" released back in June.
The new album is set to be released on September 6, 2024. It is her first release as an independent artist.
Two tracks were written by Ashlyn Willson, Colin Pastore, and Jake Finch. Produced by Jake Finch andColin Pastore.
The music video for “I Wanna Love You (But I Don't)” was directed by Ashlyn Willson and Luke Rogers.
Ashe said of “I Wanna Love You (But I Don't)”, “I just didn't like myself very much and put on that I was this confident, sort of ray of sunshine and it all made me feel like a fraud. Writing 'I Wanna Love You (But I Don't)' was the first time I tried to address all that musically and was so scary and so healing and I'm kinda surprised I'm releasing it at all but here we are!”- Ashe shared about two songs, “Which are sort of like on very different spectrums of how I was doing over, the last year and a half. 'I Wanna Love You (But I Don't)' is definitely coming from a really hard sad place. There was like a very scary, sad part of time in the last sort of like year and a half where I just really didn't like myself and I didn't even know until I wrote these letters that were like, kind of to myself, and all this like it unearthed all this like, self hatred that I didn't really even know is there and it was so like so sad, and also really therapeutic. 'I Wanna Love You (But I Don't)' is really about myself and the place I was in then that one's really scary to talk about. I'm so glad that song is out and I'm so glad I wrote it but it's also just really painful. And I don't want to go back to that place. So I'm hoping that it helps people feel, maybe a little seen if you've ever felt, similarly and if not, you can send it to your ex.”

She continued, “'I hope you die first' is like from the other flip side of like, I was in the midst of all this craziness, I was also falling in love and just which I'm so grateful for John and who is in my life. And why just had this like sad thing of like, if nature goes accordingly. I can't believe that like I'm gonna have to die without my mom holding my hand. And I just thought about how like, I really want to be there for the person I love so much. And so when you go, I'll be there. I'll hold your hand and I've got you. And then I'll follow right behind her.” - source : Apple Music
