XTINE is gearing up for another bold release. The Los Angeles artist, known for turning vulnerability into strength, has officially announced her new single “Back Then,” dropping October 31. The track follows her recent run of emotionally charged releases and marks the beginning of what appears to be a powerful new chapter in her sound.
Earlier this year, XTINE dropped “No Matter What,” a song that cut deep with its raw emotion and haunting production. It wasn’t made to comfort, but to confront. The track carried the weight of betrayal and resilience, showing XTINE at her most fearless. Layered vocals, driving percussion, and cinematic tension came together to create a soundscape that felt both heavy and liberating. It was an anthem for survival, proof that pain can still sound beautiful when you refuse to hide it.
Her follow-up, “Nobody Stays,” took that emotion and stripped it bare. This song trades intensity for intimacy, exposing the quieter side of heartbreak. It lingers like a memory you can’t shake, honest in a way that only XTINE could pull off.
Now, with “Back Then” set for release on October 31, she’s ready to turn the page once more. The single hints at reflection and renewal, blending her sound with melodic warmth. It’s expected to explore themes of nostalgia and growth, offering a more grounded perspective. XTINE describes the track as a conversation with her younger self, an emotional check-in with the person she used to be before the world hardened her edges.
Beyond “Back Then,” XTINE has her eyes on something bigger. She’s currently in the final stages of preparing a new EP, with details expected soon. While she’s keeping most of the project under wraps, she’s hinted that it will expand on the emotional palette she’s built so far, bridging vulnerability, power, and sonic experimentation. If her recent output is any indication, it’s shaping up to be her most cohesive and personal work to date.
XTINE’s music continues to live in the space between pain and power. With “Back Then,” she’s redefining the past.
