Ava Valianti blooms with raw honesty on new single 'Buttercups'

At just 15, singer-songwriter Ava Valianti is already proving herself to be a fearless storyteller, and her latest single 'Buttercups' is her most captivating chapter yet. Opening with intimate acoustic piano and gentle guitar, the track sets a vulnerable tone that swells into a soaring pop-rock anthem, a sonic journey mirroring the emotional highs and lows of young love and betrayal.

With poignant lines like “Aren’t you my buttercup, my buttercup baby,” Ava clings to the sweetness of past certainties even as trust unravels. Her evocative imagery and candid lyricism highlight her gift for capturing the bittersweet essence of growing up and letting go.

Speaking about the song, Ava shares: “Buttercups is a song that encapsulates the experience of love, loss, and searching for purpose. It’s centered around memories that are hard to let go of — the cinnamon smell, the creaky doors, the buttercups — and how even when things are complicated, those memories remind me why I cared in the first place.”
