SIENNA SPIRO Shares Devastating New Single + Video "You Stole The Show"
SIENNA SPIRO IS HAUNTED BY THE SPECTER OF AN EX ON DEVASTATING NEW BALLAD “YOU STOLE THE SHOW”
July 25, 2025 — (Hollywood, CA) Today, London-based singer/songwriter SIENNA SPIRO releases her new single “You Stole the Show.” Out now via Capitol Records, the 19-year-old’s latest is a soulful ballad with a haunting narrative set to piano and strings — minimal in production, but maximal in emotional impact. Listen HERE and watch her stunning Vevo DSCVR live performance of the song, also released today, HERE.
SIENNA debuted “You Stole the Show” supporting Teddy Swims on his US tour this month, sitting down at the piano each night for a show-stopping rendition of the song. She has also brought her spellbinding live presence to at-home audiences of late. Recently named a Vevo DSCVR artist, she performed her breakout hit “MAYBE.” for the video series and made her late night television debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. To date, “MAYBE.” — which appears on her acclaimed February debut EP SINK NOW, SWIM LATER — has surpassed 100 million streams and topped four viral Spotify charts across the globe. To celebrate the song’s first birthday, SIENNA has just announced a forthcoming limited-run 7-inch vinyl version, out August 2, available for pre-order HERE.
Following the May release of “Dream Police” — a darkly charged but exhilarating track inspired in part by Christopher Nolan’s surreal sci-fi action film Inception — “You Stole the Show” further brings SIENNA’s bold new era into view. As she explains, the new song has a captivating and heartwrenching meta-narrative of its own.
“‘You Stole the Show’ explores the idea of performance — not just as an artist, but also as a person and the various ways we ‘perform’ in our own lives,” says SIENNA. “The song was inspired by a moment I had during my last tour when I realized that so many of my songs are about a person who isn’t part of my life anymore. During each show, I would try to imagine being back in the moment I wrote the songs about — to sing them with the most conviction and emotion. In doing that, I became overwhelmed by the very thought of him being in the audience each night and I would fantasize about what I hoped or imagined would happen if he actually was.”
Produced by SIENNA’s long-term collaborators Yakob (Kali Uchis, 6LACK) and Eddie Lopes, “You Stole the Show” opens on heavy cinematic strings that part to reveal her evocative vocal and the poignant piano. She sets the scene immediately: “You stole the show, got a standing ovation / I lost control from the stage, from your face and / You don’t say hello, I can’t wait, I’m impatient.” As SIENNA’s voice soars and dives with the score, she drifts into fantasy, wishing to be back in his arms but safe this time. All the same, even her dream ends in crushing disappointment: “Before we get closer / I ask if you love me, and you just... shrug your shoulders.”
The Vevo DSCVR performance of “You Stole the Show” highlights the song’s raw emotionality. Similarly, SIENNA brought “Dream Police” to COLORSxSTUDIOS — watch HERE — pushing her staggering voice and charisma to the fore of the hypnotically sprawling track with its noir-ish bass, gritty beats, thick synths, and eerie textures. As she continues to expand her sonic breadth and real-world reach, SIENNA will embark on a headlining UK/European tour in September. View itinerary HERE.
SIENNA possesses the type of voice that stays with you long after her music has left the room. With her effortlessly soulful tone, cinematic storytelling, and subtly modern yet timeless sound, it’s almost impossible to believe that the London-born singer and songwriter is just 19 years old. And yet, her stirring debut EP, SINK NOW, SWIM LATER, captures a striking array of emotions both raw and deep, complex and instantly relatable.
Rolling Stone named her track “ORIGAMI” a “Song You Need To Know,” and SIENNA opened the year featured on Stereogum’s “Artists to Watch: The Sounds of 2025,” as well as the coveted “10 Musicians to Watch in 2025” list from Dazed (who hailed her voice as “huge enough to rival all the pop greats”). Made with leading producers like J Moon (Miley Cyrus, Dua Lipa), Sol Was (SG Lewis, Beyoncé), Max Wolfgang (Sia, Kelly Clarkson), and Fred Ball (Rihanna, Jessie Ware), the EP also contains “BACK TO BLONDE,” a gloriously fierce ballad that landed her on Pigeons & Planes’ round-up of “10 New Artists You Should Listen To This Week.”
SIENNA’s debut single “NEED ME” instantly captured the attention of all the right ears, prompting early co-signs from superstars like SZA, Mark Ronson, FINNEAS, Sam Smith, and more. A DIY-minded artist who first started penning songs when she was only 10, SIENNA’s longtime influences include Frank Ocean, Etta James, Frank Sinatra, and Amy Winehouse. She soon began integrating jazz elements into her music while gently leaning toward a more contemporary sonic aesthetic. Stay tuned for more from SIENNA soon.
