Nao opens up about love, growth, and vulnerability on her latest single out today entitled ‘Wildflowers’. Released under Sony Music UK/RCA Records, 'Wildflowers' was recorded at the iconic Abbey Road Studios and produced by Coffee and Detonate.

On the single, Nao shares, "A Wildflower symbolizes falling in love—it's wild, carefree, and you want it to last forever. But life and time have other plans. ‘Wildflowers’ invites listeners to explore the highs and lows of love while embracing vulnerability.” 

"Wildflowers, they grow on their own/ And like the leaves in the wind, we go with the flow. From city to city, romancing in Rome," Nao sings, opening the upbeat track. The single will appear on Nao's fourth studio album Jupiter, releasing in 2025.
