Gracie Abrams Announces New Song ‘Hit the Wall’

“Hit the Wall,” a new song from Gracie Abrams, is coming soon. The track is scheduled for release at 2 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Thursday, May 14, Abrams revealed in an announcement posted on social media at the start of the weekend.

“‘Hit the Wall,'” Abrams wrote on Instagram on Friday (May 1), disclosing its title. “My new song is out everywhere on May 14th at 5pm PST. I love it with everything I have. – DFH.”

The news was unveiled with single art that shows the singer-songwriter standing directly in front of wild flames. The fiery image obscures the artist, who’s mostly pictured as a shadowy silhouette.

“DFH” is presumed to be an acronym for Abrams’ next album, which would be her third full-length studio release. Her debut set, Good Riddance, was released on Interscope in 2023, followed by her sophomore album, 2024’s The Secret of Us. Abrams earned a top 10 on the Billboard 200 albums chart for the first time with The Secret of Us, which debuted at No. 2.

Last month brought a new music snippet that cut off just as the pop singer’s vocals were about to begin. Abrams seemed to be teasing an upcoming project in the Instagram clip, though no details were given.

Prior to that there were in-studio snapshots with producer Aaron Dessner — plus pictures of a journal adorned with “DFH” stickers,” a “3” sticker and a sticker of a witch — on Instagram.

In Abrams’ cover story interview with Billboard last year, she said, “Aaron and I are catching each other in these little pockets between hectic times. Every day that I live with the music, things start to become a little clearer. There’s something we’re starting to crack that is making both of us feel energized.” She was on the road for her Secret of Us Tour through the end of the summer 2025.
