d4vd continues to build anticipation for his forthcoming debut album with his latest single, "Where'd It All Go Wrong?" The track hits hard with a brutally honest look at love's fragile nature and the deep confusion when things fall apart.
d4vd's music is a journey through emotional turmoil, capturing the messy aftermath of realizing something that once felt perfect has completely fallen apart. The track, a blend of alternative, indie, and R&B influences, is drenched in raw emotion. The mellow yet haunting instrumentation mirrors the song's reflective tone, while d4vd's voice delivers each line with raw intensity, capturing the complexity of the emotions at play. The resulting sound is both minimalistic and powerful, allowing the emotional weight of the lyrics to resonate.
The nineteen-year-old's return to his musical roots is a testament to his passion and dedication. He shares, "I've spent the past year recording in LA studios, doing sessions with top producers, and doing writing trips, but for 'Where'd It Go Wrong?' I sat back down at my house in Houston and recorded on Bandlab, which I hadn't been doing much of lately. It really got me back in my element of how I began making music. This is one of my favorite songs that I've made in a long time and it reminded me why I've always loved making music on my own."
d4vd has been on an exhilarating journey in 2024. His international headline 'My House is Not a Home' tour saw him play at his largest venues, stopping in New York, London, Paris, and other major cities worldwide. He also opened for pop icon SZA at Malahide Castle in Dublin and graced expansive festival stages at Gov Ball, Bonnaroo, Boston Calling, and Lollapalooza, all coming hot off the heels of an electrifying surprise set in his hometown of Houston at White Oak Music Hall. This journey sets the stage for his highly anticipated debut album.
He also released a steady stream of singles throughout the year. These releases include the stripped-back, beautifully crafted love song "There Goes My Baby," the dynamic "Remember Me" of the Emmy-nominated Netflix series Arcane, which he performed at this year's The Game Awards, the funk-riddled Billboard Hot 100 charting single "Feel It" from the original series Invincible, and the poignant ballad "My House Is Not A Home." Indeed, 2025 is set to be his year.
