Eden Rain – Growing Pains

Today one of the UK’s most intriguing emerging voices, Leeds-born and London-based Eden Rain, returns with her hauntingly beautiful new single, “Growing Pains” via APOLLO Distribution – a stripped-back, emotive piano ballad that lays bare the turbulence of loving deeply and the quiet ache of growing apart from someone you once held close.

“I wrote Growing Pains with Iain Berryman and it just kind of tumbled out after I saw online that someone I used to be really really close to was moving on with their life- and I realised I didn’t know them anymore. I love so deeply and hungrily that once I care about someone, I just can’t let go. I’ll pine and pine and think about them forever… I think I’m even half waiting for them to hear this song and come back to me lol. After we wrote it, I felt honestly mortified-like I’d accidentally admitted to myself that I’m really bad at letting go, even when people have actually been pretty shitty to me. It felt kind of desperate, like… they probably don’t even think of me anymore. But I guess that’s what the song’s really about-holding on too tightly to something that’s already let go of you.” – Eden Rain

Known for her bold, expansive sounds and unique lyrical storytelling, Eden takes a more minimal, intimate approach on this new release. Growing Pains places her signature vocals front and centre – raw, unfiltered, and full of sincerity. Every breath and scratch of her voice carries weight, crafting a story of loss, reflection, and letting go.

Accompanied by a sparse piano melody and the subtle creak of background noise, the track has a raw, lived-in quality – not polished, but natural and grounded. It’s this sense of atmosphere, still, slightly eerie, and familiar, that makes the song linger long after the final note.
