Tyla unveils release date for her highly anticipated single 'Bliss'

New Tyla alert! The Met Gala is not the only occasion the 23-year-old superstar is gearing up for. Tyla has revealed the release date for her new single, “Bliss”.

The “Water” hit-maker first previewed the song at her 2025 Coachella debut and later hinted at the single’s arrival through a recent collaboration with Erewhon, where she launched a limited-edition smoothie, which was also called “Bliss”. 

The smoothie, which is not only a tasty treat but also a way to give back, supports 18twenty8, an organisation empowering girls in South Africa through education and personal development strategies.

The partnership with Erewhon may have been a subtle nod to her upcoming music release.

Tyla has previously expressed her excitement to share her new music with the world, and it is clear that she's been working hard to create something special. 

Last year, in an interview with Coke Studio, the 23-year-old singer shared how she wanted to break away from her original sound when she released “Tears”, a single in collaboration with Coke Studio.

With “Tears”, she showcased her enchanting vocals, revealing a more vulnerable side that is different from her previous work.

Breaking away from the amapiano and pop sound that she is best known for, Tyla may be embarking on an exciting new journey with “Bliss”, and it is only a matter of time until fans get to experience it.

The Grammy Award-winning singer also featured on “Show Me Love”, a single by South African artist WizTheMc. Tyla’s part in the collaboration has taken the song to greater heights as it has since gone viral on TikTok, also topping the music charts.

For fans, it was a nice treat to hear something different from Tyla after they have been enjoying her self-titled debut album.

Tyla’s upcoming song marks her first solo release since her debut album. With her previous hits and critically acclaimed debut album, her upcoming release is expected to make waves in the music industry.

In a Billboard Women in Music interview, Tyla announced that she will release a new album later this year.

2025 is about to be yet another Tyla-filled year.

As the release date approaches, fans are eagerly awaiting the music. Will it be a continuation of her previous work, or a bold new direction? One thing is certain: Tyla’s “Bliss” is a highly anticipated release set to showcase her versatility.

With “Bliss” set to drop on Friday, May 9, fans won’t have to wait much longer to experience Tyla’s latest creation.
