Mae Muller drops off MTJL
globally adored British pop star Mae Muller will release her new track, “MTJL.” The introspective ballad is featured on Mae’s long-awaited full-length debut album, Sorry I'm Late out September 15th via Capitol Records. “This one is so special to me, it’s all the things I wished I’d had done, things I was I was better at,” says Mae of “MTJL”. “While being in music has taught me so many amazing things, it has also taught me that I’m good at pretending everything is amazing all of the time. I think subconsciously I got really tired from that and I ended up writing this song and I’m so happy I did. Younger Mae would be proud I think. I hope it finds you when you most need it because it definitely found me.” In addition to Mae’s recent single, "Me, Myself & I" and smash hit “Better Days” (a platinum-certified collaboration with NEIKED and Polo G), Sorry I’m Late includes past hits like “I Just Came To Dance” and “I Wrote A Song” — a high-energy anthem that became the No. 1 trending song in the UK and shot to No. 9 on the UK Singles Chart after Mae represented the UK in the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest. Sorry I’m Late strikes an unforgettable balance of soulful vulnerability and exhilarating confidence. As she documents a period of life-changing self-discovery, the 25-year-old North London native opens up about all the love and loss and growth she’s experienced in recent years, infusing every song with her strong-minded yet irresistibly playful point of view. And while Sorry I’m Late unfolds with a lived-in intimacy and enthralling specificity, Mae captures so many of the frustrations and tensions shared by her generation. The result: a wildly cathartic celebration of today’s young women and all their infinite complexity. The album marks the follow-up to Mae’s Capitol Records debut EP no one else, not even you: a critically lauded 2020 project including standouts like “Dependent” (named one of Billboard's 30 Best Pop Songs of 2020). Muller’s songs have amassed over 2.7 billion streams globally.
