Alt-pop artist d4vd shares “What Are You Waiting For,” a bold lead-up to debut album WITHERED, out April 25.
Rising alt-pop star d4vd shares his electrifying new single “What Are You Waiting For,” out now via Darkroom/Interscope. The high-octane track is a passionate plea wrapped in punchy riffs and pulsing basslines—echoing the emotional rush of unrequited feelings.
Released on d4vd’s 20th birthday, “What Are You Waiting For” acts as a sonic turning point. It’s a celebration, a confession, and a prelude to his debut full-length album WITHERED, set to arrive April 25.
The track contrasts sharply with his earlier 2024 single “Crashing” (with Kali Uchis), a smooth, down-tempo ballad. Together, they showcase the emotional breadth d4vd is known for—layering storytelling and sound to full effect. 
His breakout track “Feel It” continues to surge, drawing over 2 million daily streams and appearing in Season 2 of Amazon Prime’s Invincible. These recent successes add to the momentum that began with his two widely acclaimed EPs, Petals to Thorns and The Lost Petals.
WITHERED promises a conceptual experience, unfolding the life cycle of a rose to mirror the evolution and eventual decay of love. Structured like a novel, each track contributes to a narrative about heartbreak, healing, and transformation.
“What Are You Waiting For” finds d4vd leaning into vulnerability with a heightened edge—melding personal urgency with pop grandeur. It’s a standout track from a debut album already poised to make a powerful impact.
