Scottish singer songwriter Connor McGlave shares his new single "Flowers"
LISTEN TO “FLOWERS” HERE
SUPPORTING KYLE FALCONER ON TOUR IN SEPTEMBER
Following the raw introspection of his May single “Better Man,” (listen HERE) Scottish singer and songwriter Connor McGlave returns with “Flowers”, a beautifully vulnerable track about the quiet ache of letting someone down, even when they only want the best for you. It marks the second offering from his upcoming EP, and showcases a softer but equally stirring side to his songwriting.
Built around McGlave’s signature blend of unfiltered lyricism, emotive delivery, and soaring melodies, “Flowers” explores the emotional toll of breaking your own promises. It’s a song about love, regret, and the quiet fear of not being enough for someone who sees the best in you, especially when you can’t see it yourself.
Speaking about the single, Connor explains: “‘Flowers’ is about the frustration of breaking your own promises. It’s about being with someone who sees your true qualities even when you can’t and wants the best for you. But deep down, there’s that fear they might not stick around forever if you keep slipping.”
Since emerging with early standouts like “Time Waits For No Man” and “Cocaine Epidemic”, McGlave has carved out a space as one of Scotland’s most exciting and sincere voices. His music has connected widely through its refusal to flinch from life’s harder truths; always searching, always resonant. His debut EP ‘Heaven’s A Place’ earned national attention, culminating in headline shows at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut and St Luke’s Glasgow.
2025 marks a new chapter for the East Kilbride native; his storytelling sharper, his live performances more commanding than ever, and his audience growing with every release. “Flowers” is further proof that McGlave is a rare kind of artist: one who speaks plainly, but always hits deep.
For fans of Sam Fender, Gerry Cinnamon, and artists who turn real life into unforgettable songs, “Flowers” is Connor McGlave at his most exposed and most relatable.
