Kate has also shared the album's lead single, Millions of Heartbeats, which begins as a twinkly piano ballad before swelling into a shimmering, heartfelt, full-throttle pop song.

"Millions of Heartbeats is a song about losing your spark," Kate says. "It can be difficult to find hope in a world that’s constantly bombarding you with bad news, chaos and capitalism. It’s scary when you lose that spark and can’t lift yourself out of a pit.

"It can feel like that light you once had might never come back," she continues. "The button to the song is that there’s millions of heartbeats on this planet and that’s the reason we have to try. All we have right now is earth and each other. And that’s actually a lot. So just keep trying."
