Listen: Rowena Wise – ‘Home In This World’

Today, Naarm/Melbourne-based artist Rowena Wise shares her new single ‘Home In This World’, out now via Beloved Records / Remote Control Records, the third offering from her forthcoming sophomore album, Bad Things Feel Good*, set for release on Friday 7th August, 2026. Alongside the single, Wise announces a run of headline shows across Australia this Oct/Nov with her band.

Following the emotional reckoning of ‘Blood Ties’ and the quiet unravelling of ‘Diamond In The Rough’, ‘Home In This World’ enters gentler, more expansive terrain, turning its gaze skyward to sit with the ache of feeling small and alone in the universe, and the awe of realising you are part of everything. Wise shares: “I wrote this song to honour the part of me that sometimes feels utterly alone in the universe, and how that loneliness can feel both heavy and strangely beautiful. So much of life seems to unfold without inherent meaning. That lack of control has, at times, left me feeling alienated, like I’m drifting within something vast and indifferent.”

But rather than resist, the song settles into that solitude. As Wise explains: “The song emerged when I stopped resisting that feeling and allowed it to settle gently. Instead of fighting the loneliness, I tried to understand it. I began to accept that purpose isn’t something we’re born with, it’s something we create.”
