JULIANA. is kicking off 2021 with a fresh new love song that we can’t get enough of!
The LA native shared her latest single “Love Preview” on Wednesday (January 13), which can be described as a tune that documents the blossoming, and often delusional, stages of a new relationship.
“I couldn’t be more excited to start off 2021 with my new single and video ‘Love Preview’,” shares JULIANA. in a statement. “It’s a song that’s meant to be lighthearted and positive considering we could all use that extra glimpse of hope in a new year. I have always been someone who writes songs based on my personal experiences, and this one is no different. I wrote ‘Love Preview’ during the beginning stages of a crush, where everything was peachy keen and delusional. It’s the moment where you barely know the person, but you feel so infatuated and blinded to reality that you think you’re falling in love. I think a lot of people have felt something similar, so I hope it can strike a familiar chord with everyone listening.”
“I have very specific details to that incident that the person [I wrote the song about] 100% knows that I wrote it about them,” she adds when chatting with us over a Zoom call. “That’s kind of the beauty of it — if I want to write something, I want to write something that’s specific to me. We all go through breakups but this is my story to tell. I want to write it the way it happened so that person definitely knows [it’s written about them].”
JULIANA. also released the song’s music video this week, which was directed by Alec Griffen and produced by Christina Jobe.
“We made the music video to resemble a romance trailer to play off the title of the song, showing a ‘love preview’ between me and this guy I thought I was falling for,” she says of the video. “However, the video starts and ends with me alone on my bed watching TV to symbolize the reality of the situation and how the relationship didn’t end up working out. The song itself is an expression of love in the purest form possible, the freeing feeling you get when you’re getting to know someone. The video, on the other hand, brings out the truth behind some relationships. Not all that start out amazing end well. I wanted to highlight both realities as something that is beautiful because not all happy endings end up the way you might have imagined and that is okay. They’re both beautiful and part of your journey. ‘Love Preview’ is just another chapter of my life and my story, and I’m honored to be able to share it with the world.”
Since her debut in September with the empowering break-up single “Call It Quits,” JULIANA. has been steadily releasing new music while garnering media attention, while racking up thousands of plays.
