Sienna Spiro just dropped her new album Visitor and the next single off the album is “Great Expectation.”
The music video is being released on YouTube at 10am ET on Friday (July 3) and you can watch it below once it’s online. For now, you can hear the full song on Spotify, Apple Music, or wherever you stream music.
Sienna has explained the meaning behind the song.
“‘Great Expectation’ is about a time when I was living in New York for a little while and talking to someone who kept saying they were gonna come see me,” Sienna said in a statement. “Every morning, I’d walk down the stairs of the apartment building and, for a second, genuinely believe he’d be outside waiting. Then I’d spend the next five minutes walking down the street imagining what I’d say, what it would feel like, what would happen if they were really there. He never came. The song became less about that person, and more about expectation itself. Whether it’s beautiful or just a way of setting yourself up to be disappointed. I wrote this song about knowing deep down he would never be what I wanted and that living with the idea of him was safer than nothing at all.”
Sienna sings on the track, “So I sing just to know I’m alive / And I cry all the tears I couldn’t cry / If happiness is just an illusion / You were the best I ever had / If you can’t be what I want / And the things you say are true / All I need is the great expectation of you / Expectation of you.”
Sienna is going on tour later this year and tickets sold out instantly for the full world tour!
