Just a couple weeks after closing out the European leg of her Secret of Us Tour, Gracie Abrams is thanking fans by dropping the live version of unreleased song “Death Wish” recorded at the O2 Arena earlier this month.
Released Tuesday (April 1), the recording finds the 25-year-old singer-songwriter accompanying herself on piano as she sings eviscerating lyrics about a two-faced ex. “How will it end? How long will you give me?/ ‘Til you twist the knife with a smile while you kill me,” Abrams croons to the hushed room. “And you ask me to dance if there’s someone around/ You don’t look the same when I look at you now.”
The Los Angeles native also shared a lyric video for the track, featuring footage of Abrams playing the ballad for the first time at her March 6 show in London.
The track marks the Grammy-nominated artist’s first release since her feature on Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez’s “Call Me When You Break Up,” which arrived in February. Since dropping her sophomore album The Secret of Us last June, Abrams has released a couple other live recordings on streaming services, including “I Love You, I’m Sorry – Live From Vevo” in October and “That’s So True (Live From Radio City Music Hall)” in November.
Abrams’ O2 show was one in a month-long run of performances in Europe as part of her first-ever arena trek. In just a few days, she’ll pick back up with shows in Asia followed by legs in Australia and North America.
During her short break from touring, Abrams was honored as Songwriter of the Year at last weekend’s 2025 Billboard Women in Music Awards. During her speech, the star thanked her “incomparable” “Us.” collaborator Taylor Swift “for the gift of her pen, which very much raised me,” as well as best friend Audrey Hobert, with whom she wrote much of The Secret of Us.
