MARINA has unveiled her latest single “Butterfly”, marking a significant return to her introspective and transformative musical roots.

Released on February 21, 2025, the track showcases MARINA’s multifaceted artistry, as she not only penned the song but also co-produced it alongside CJ Baran, known for his work with artists like Melanie Martinez, Sabrina Carpenter, and Carly Rae Jepsen.

“Butterfly” seamlessly blends the baroque pop elements reminiscent of MARINA’s earlier works with contemporary, multi-dimensional production. The song’s verses exude a simmering melancholy, leading into choruses that burst into vibrant, expansive soundscapes. This dynamic progression mirrors the thematic essence of the track: personal metamorphosis and self-actualization. Lyrically, MARINA delves into themes of growth and liberation.

Accompanying the single is a visually captivating music video directed by Aerin Moreno, whose previous collaborations include artists such as Tyla, Tinashe, Tate McRae, and Madison Beer. The video presents a surreal narrative that complements the song’s exploration of transformation, featuring MARINA navigating through a series of dreamlike environments that reflect her journey of shedding old constraints and embracing a renewed self.

While an official announcement is yet to be made, there is speculation that “Butterfly” serves as the lead single from MARINA’s forthcoming album, rumored to be titled “COCOON”. This anticipated project is expected to delve deeper into themes of rebirth and personal growth, continuing the artistic trajectory established by “Butterfly”.

“Butterfly” is now available on major streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music. Listeners are invited to experience MARINA’s latest artistic evolution and immerse themselves in the rich, emotive soundscapes she has meticulously crafted.
