Grammy-nominated, Gold-certified powerhouse vocalist and songwriter HAYLA has officially unleashed her deeply vulnerable HAYLA new single Enough, out today, May 22. Following hot on the heels of last month’s “Heal,” the track marks a bold, deliberate evolution for the artist. Known for anchoring the biggest festival anthems of the decade, HAYLA is stepping away from the predictable pulse of the club floor to explore the shadows of rich, cinematic alternative storytelling.
Both singles serve as the sonic architecture for her highly anticipated sophomore studio album, DARK, scheduled to drop on July 31, 2026, via Restless Minds Music and Believe.
“Heavy is the Unrequited”—Inside the Lyrics
Driven by her instantly recognizable, soaring vocal delivery, “Enough” dives into the agonizing imbalance of unrequited love and emotional distance. It is an atmospheric piece crafted explicitly for late-night playlists and post-midnight contemplation, leaning heavily into organic instrumentation and raw vocal vulnerability.
“‘Enough’ is about dating. The feeling of uneven ground. Feeling more attached as the person you’re with pulls away,” HAYLA reveals, opening up about the painful inspiration behind the track. “Being in solitude holding on to a one-sided flame as it looms overhead in silence. Heavy is the unrequited… I think you like the idea of me but not the commitment. So you just get enough.”
From EDC Main Stage Triumph to Intimate Fall Theaters
The timing of the release couldn’t be more triumphant. Just days ago on Saturday, May 16, HAYLA made a monumental solo debut on the Kinetic Field main stage at EDC Las Vegas. Performing her solo material alongside iconic collaborations like “Escape” (with Kx5) and “Where You Are” (with John Summit), she proved that an EDM vocalist can completely command a stadium-sized festival crowd on her own merit, drawing rave reviews across the industry.
While the summer will see her hit major festival stages from San Diego Pride to Amsterdam World Pride, autumn brings The Dark Tour. This headline run across North America promises a radically different experience. Swapping massive festival lasers for intimate venue setups, the tour kicks off on August 6 in Chicago and snakes across the East Coast, Midwest, and West Coast, before drawing to a spectacular close at the legendary Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles on September 4.
The upcoming intimate sets will allow HAYLA to fully showcase her creative reinvention, blending stripped-back, haunting performances of her massive dance records with the raw alt-pop landscape of the upcoming DARK album.
