The track is the artist’s first release since her acclaimed 2024 EP Anyway, how are you?

Eden Rain‘s sound and style is something that has always captured the unique and powerful lens of the female experience, with poignant singles like ‘Text Me When You’re Home Safe’ and ‘Great Nothing’ honing in on the experiences and memories that have shaped who she is both as a person and a songwriter, consistently making for these engaging and distinctive worlds within her tracks that feel fully realised and three dimensional.

The artist’s latest single ‘Who I’ve Touched’ might just be her deepest foray into this territory, unfolding like an intimate dive into the artist’s youth and her relationship with male validation and self-identity, and the value that we find ourselves with (or without) as a result of this. It makes for a really sobering and powerful listening experience that touches upon some really relatable and moving subject matter, with the way that the artist articulates these points feeling as poignant and thoughtful as ever.

‘’I wrote this song with Shute, and it kind of tumbled out of me before I even realised what I was writing.” Eden says. “It is about self-worth, identity, and the way we let other people define us without even realising it. Admittedly it’s a little bitter , but mostly it’s me untangling the idea that I’m only as valuable as the people who want me. I definitely struggled with male validation more than I realised growing up, and this song helped me unpick a lot of that.”
