Maya Hawke – “Missing Out”

Maya Hawke – “Missing Out”

Stranger Things star Maya Hawke released her debut album Blush in 2020, followed by Moss in 2022. Today, she’s announcing Chaos Angel and releasing “Missing Out” with a video directed by Alex Ross Perry.

Hawke shared this statement on the song:

There was actually a girl who went to Brown, where my brother goes to college, and we were all going around saying what our wish was for ourselves. She said, I want to write the next great American novel. It was the moment where I felt older than everyone because I laughed so hard. I was like, ā€œYou are so far down the wrong track!ā€ Wish to write a novel. That would be a miracle. Donā€™t wish to write the next great American novel, thatā€™s a nightmare! It made me feel I actually am a different place in my life than these people I was around. It totally inspired this whole song.

Chaos Angel was co-produced by Christian Lee Hutson and features contributions from Benjamin Lazar Davis and Will Graefe. The album is centered on the concept of a chaos angel who was raised to believe she was a god of love, but instead ended up causing destruction. ā€œOn the journey home, she goes back through all the places she thought she destroyed,ā€ Hawke explains. ā€œAnd in the rubble, wonder and beauty and magic grew.ā€
