Darcey Hope Finds Power In Overthinking With “back Of My Mind”

Darcey Hope is back and she’s bringing us deep into her headspace. The emerging indie-pop artist just dropped Back of My Mind, a glowing ode to overthinking, and it’s already tugging at hearts. This isn’t your typical heartbreak ballad. It’s a warm, soft unraveling that reclaims mental space and turns confusion into comfort.

With whispery guitar, butter-smooth vocals, and a lyricism that feels pulled from the pages of your favorite diary, Darcey’s latest track hits that perfect note between vulnerability and quiet strength. “I got tired of writing sad songs about spiralling,” she says. “So I flipped it. Now it feels more like wandering through a weird little Wonderland built inside my brain.”

A Wonderland of Her Own

Comparisons to Lizzy McAlpine feel right, but Darcey Hope is forging her own sound tender, queer, and full of texture. Back of My Mind is a song for late nights, soft lights, and anyone who’s ever gotten stuck in a memory loop and found some strange safety there.

Following the single, Darcey will hit the Lavish Lounge stage at Latitude Festival 2025, a major moment for a voice that’s only getting louder in the indie space. And with this release, she proves that softness doesn’t mean weakness sometimes it’s the bravest sound of all.
