Ingrid Andress will release her new single "Now I Know" this Friday, offering the first preview of her upcoming third album. The track explores the challenges of personal growth and self-discovery. It marks her first new music in 2026.
Ingrid Andress is preparing to unveil "Now I Know," a single that delves into the often-overlooked pain associated with personal evolution. Scheduled for release this Friday, the song serves as the initial taste of her third studio album, following her 2022 release Good Person. Andress, who co-wrote and co-produced the track, describes it as a personal anthem encouraging listeners to let go of unhelpful elements in their lives.
Reflecting on the theme, Andress shared, "We tend to glamorize what ‘growing’ and ‘self-discovery’ look like without acknowledging the pain it also takes to break out of the cocoon that kept you safe." She further explained the value in overcoming difficulties, stating, "The beauty of knowing you made it through those ugly, difficult times is what makes all the heartbreak worth it." According to Andress, this process builds self-trust and affirms that individuals deserve the happiness they seek.
This release builds on Andress's established career. Her debut album, Lady Like, arrived in 2020 and featured the number-one single "More Hearts Than Mine," earning her a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. The subsequent Good Person included the chart-topping collaboration "Wishful Drinking" with Sam Hunt. Fans anticipate how "Now I Know" will fit into her evolving discography as she nears completion of the new album.
