Daisy Peacock will release her new single ‘Bare Minimum’ on 5th September 2025. The track is a playful but pointed commentary on low standards in modern dating, using sharp humour and vibrant production to send its message. With a mix of wit and charm, Daisy transforms frustration into a fun, empowering anthem designed to resonate with a generation that has grown tired of partners who fail to make an effort.
At its core, ‘Bare Minimum’ is about self-worth and refusing to settle for less than you deserve. Daisy uses her lyrics to highlight the reality that doing the least in relationships should never be celebrated. Instead of coming across as heavy-handed, she delivers her message with a wink and a sense of fun, making the track as entertaining as it is relatable. The single is positioned as both a tongue-in-cheek takedown and a confident declaration of independence.
Musically, the track fuses infectious pop production with Daisy’s bold delivery. It balances sass and playfulness in a way that reflects her growing identity as a songwriter who can blend humour with honesty. This is music with a purpose: to call out mediocrity while celebrating self-confidence. Bruadarach Music described her sound as “early Taylor Swift vibes, but with a super fresh, exciting edge,” capturing the way Daisy bridges classic pop storytelling with her own distinct perspective.
Rising momentum
The release of ‘Bare Minimum’ continues Daisy’s rapid rise in the indie-pop scene. Since her debut single ‘You Don’t Want Me Enough’ in 2023, she has established herself as a distinctive new voice. That track earned her a top ten place in both Song Academy’s Young Songwriter Competition 2024 and Citrus Records’ Songs of the Year list, setting her apart as one to watch.
Daisy has also developed her live reputation through support slots with Alfie Jukes, daydreamers, and Blondes at venues across the UK. She has performed at several festivals including Y Not and Tramlines, showcasing her ability to connect with audiences in both intimate and large-scale settings. Each performance adds to her reputation as an engaging performer with a growing fanbase.
‘Bare Minimum’ represents a confident step forward, building on the recognition she has already received. Released via AWAL, it places Daisy firmly among a new wave of artists redefining what modern pop can look like: smart, playful, and rooted in real experiences. With both humour and heart, Daisy is carving out her own space and doing so with clarity of voice and vision.
