Sienna Spiro returns with her compelling new single ‘Die On This Hill’, an emotionally charged pop-soul track that showcases her signature blend of honesty and power. Released today, the song is a stirring reflection on stubborn love, one that refuses to fade even when reason says it should.
Built around piercing piano lines and Sienna’s crystal-clear, electrifying vocals, ‘Die On This Hill’ captures the ache of holding on to something already slipping away. Her voice carries every ounce of longing and determination in the lyrics, immersing listeners in a story of attachment, denial and hope. The production is both cinematic and intimate, surrounding her vocal with space and texture that magnify its emotional weight.
Speaking about the song, Sienna explains: “This song is about stubborn love – the kind that makes you stay when you know you should leave.” That sense of conflict runs through every chord, balancing fragility with defiance. The result is a piece that feels raw yet refined, an anthem for anyone who has ever struggled to let go.
A defining new era
‘Die On This Hill’ arrives as Sienna continues an extraordinary year. She will perform a special live rendition of the single on Later… With Jools Holland, airing on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer on 9 November. The appearance follows her acclaimed UK and European headline tour, which included sold-out shows in Paris, Berlin and London’s iconic KOKO.
Her live reputation has become one of her strongest hallmarks. Earlier this year she appeared at Radio 1’s Big Weekend and RAYE’s takeover of All Points East, captivating audiences with her emotional delivery and commanding stage presence. She also joined GRAMMY®-nominated star Teddy Swims on his US tour, bringing her distinct style to international crowds. Currently, she is supporting Sam Smith during their ‘To Be Free’ residency in New York, marking another milestone in her fast-rising career.
Sienna’s story so far has been shaped by her remarkable ability to turn vulnerability into strength. Since the release of her debut EP Sink Now, Swim Later, which has now surpassed 125 million streams, she has built a reputation for writing songs that connect deeply and honestly. The EP’s breakout single ‘Maybe.’ became a viral sensation, topping four Spotify viral charts worldwide and earning over 600 million views on TikTok.
Influenced by the likes of Amy Winehouse and Etta James, Sienna Spiro combines classic soul character with a distinctly modern pop sensibility. Her voice remains the centre of everything she does – powerful, emotive and instantly recognisable. With ‘Die On This Hill’, she once again proves her ability to translate complex emotions into songs that resonate across genres and generations.
