Stella Lain Is Getting Her Power Back on “Out of My Hair”

There’s a quiet kind of strength in knowing when to walk away - and an even louder one in turning that moment into a song you can scream-sing into a hairbrush. On her new single “Out of My Hair”, Stella Lain reclaims her narrative with a pop-country release that feels playful on the surface, but grounded in emotional clarity underneath.

Born from frustration, self-reflection, and the slow unravelling of a situationship that never quite delivered what it promised, “Out of My Hair” captures the exact moment when attachment turns into resolve. Sonically upbeat and sugar-rush bright, the track masks its emotional weight behind glittering melodies and buoyant country-pop charm - a contrast that mirrors the experience itself: smiling through confusion until clarity finally arrives.

Stella has always had a gift for naming feelings with precision. Her songwriting doesn’t rush toward drama or exaggeration; instead, it sits with the truth long enough to understand it. Here, that truth is inconsistency: the exhausting limbo of receiving just enough attention to stay invested, but never enough to move forward. Rather than lingering in bitterness, “Out of My Hair” chooses release. It’s about choosing yourself, without apology.

“It’s about regaining confidence after a frustrating situationship,” Stella explains. “I wanted it to be upbeat, fun, and pop - that sleepover energy where you’re singing into your hairbrush. It’s the kind of song every girl needs.” That intention shines through. The song feels communal, designed to be shared, shouted, and replayed - a small act of emotional catharsis disguised as a pop moment.

Bringing country music born in the heart of the UK, Stella Lain occupies a space that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary. Her sound, often described as country with a touch of pink, blends shimmering pop sensibilities with classic storytelling instincts. Vocally warm, honeyed, and instantly recognisable, she delivers her lines with confidence that feels earned rather than performed.

There’s also a visual world taking shape around the release. A lyric video accompanies the track, with an official music video following later this month, expanding Stella’s ever-growing “Glitter Pink” universe: one built on rhinestones, self-expression, and radical softness.

Having written songs since the age of ten, Stella’s relationship with music has always been rooted in storytelling. That commitment has already earned her recognition from BBC Introducing, Countryline Radio, and Record of the Day, alongside standout live moments, from performing on the back of a vintage pickup truck at Country Calling Festival to taking the stage at London’s legendary Bedford. Recently crowned Female Artist of the Year by Shout Out Pod, she’s now opening the vault, releasing music she’s been quietly crafting for years.

“Out of My Hair” is a moment of emotional sovereignty. A reminder that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is name what no longer serves you, shake it loose, and step forward, glitter intact.
