Fans are only days away before Rina Sawayama releases her highly-anticipated second studio album "Hold The Girl" and she keeps on surprising her supporters as the singer released a fifth single before her record drops this week.
According to PM Studio, the "Tokyo Love Hotel" songstress released her new song "Hurricanes" on the BBC Radio 1 show "Future Sounds" hosted by Clara Amfo.
Speaking about the process of creating the newly-released track, the British pop star said she became more and more confident with her songwriting skills as they improved through the years.
With "Hurricanes," Sawayama said it was the song that she didn't get any help from anyone regarding its lyrics.
"Usually I start the lyrics and the melody with another songwriter, but this one I just started the lyrics and the melody on my own," she told Amfo.
After writing the song, she realized that she could write for herself.
Regarding the significant meaning of the track, the "Cyber Stockholm Syndrome" hitmaker said it reflects her "2020 and 2021" self where there were a lot of situations where she sabotages herself.
She would also doubt her skills like "running into a hurricane."
Describing the undertones of the song, Sawayama said it revolves around being "chaotic, sad, and quite dark" with the sound of pop rock.

Rina Sawayama 'Hold The Girl' Coming Out This Week
Fans have been patiently waiting for Rina Sawayama to release her new album "Hold The Girl" which comes out on September 16 via Dirty Hit.
Aside from "Hurricanes," the pop star released four other singles over the past few months: "This Hell," "Catch Me In The Air," "Hold The Girl," and "Phantom." The singer's upcoming record will have 13 songs in total.
The recent single release comes a day after Sawayama was called out by fans for the official album art of her album.
Many users claim that she picked "the worst one out of all." However, other users claimed that it's a form of marketing strategy as fans would use it to create and share memes online.
Explaining her decision on why she chose the album cover, the singer said it represents "isolation and gestation."
Her pose in the image appears that she's going to give birth to something, and "it has to come out."
She later clarified that it was not a metaphor for being pregnant, but it's a concept of giving birth to "a lot of personal things" from the record.
