Millie Kirkpatrick is set to release her most personal track to date, with new single ‘Where All the People Go’ arriving on 11th April. Known for blending emotive lyrics with alt-pop sensibilities, the Liverpool-based singer-songwriter leans into something more stripped back this time, showcasing a gentler, more reflective side.
The track follows her previous release ‘Fake Fights’, which delivered polish and drama in equal measure. In contrast, ‘Where All the People Go’ embraces space and stillness, allowing the raw emotion to take centre stage. It’s a song about the quiet ache of invisibility, the confusion of growing up, and the search for meaning when the world feels out of reach.
A softer, deeper sound
Written over the course of the past year, the single sees Millie revisiting her younger self. It reflects on early hopes and how they slowly faded, replaced by the reality of adult life. The track captures the subtle shift between youthful optimism and lived experience, offering a moment of calm to anyone who has ever felt left behind.
Produced by James Paysie, the song features reverberated drums and a blues-influenced guitar line that gently carries Millie’s soulful vocals. It’s an understated arrangement, but one that hits deep. The decision to release this song as a single, despite its subtlety, was driven by its emotional honesty. There’s nothing forced here — just sincerity, delivered with care.
Millie explains that while this track may not follow the formula of a radio-ready pop anthem, it speaks to a deeper truth. It holds the kind of resonance that lingers, and she felt it deserved its own spotlight. The result is a song that doesn’t fight for attention, yet still finds a way to hold it.
‘Where All the People Go’ highlights Millie Kirkpatrick’s strength as a storyteller. Her songwriting continues to evolve, and this new release shows she isn’t afraid to take risks and follow her own artistic instincts. It’s the kind of music that offers quiet comfort — a reminder that sometimes, soft voices are the ones that reach us most deeply.
The single is available from 11th April on all major streaming platforms.
