(WR) In the midst of a defining year marked by touring milestones, viral momentum and a fast-growing global fanbase, Alex Sampson releases his new single "How Lucky Am I?" today via Warner Records.
"How Lucky Am I?" arrives ahead of his new EP Growing Pains, out June 5th. The track finds Sampson reflecting on love, loss and the gratitude that can remain even after a relationship changes shape.
Emotionally honest and deeply personal, "How Lucky Am I?" captures the ache of looking back on a relationship not with resentment, but with appreciation for what it gave him. Built around Sampson's signature vulnerability and timeless pop sensibility, the song turns heartbreak into perspective, offering a mature reflection on love, memory and the quiet beauty of having experienced something real.
"'How Lucky Am I?' is one of the most honest songs I've written for this project. It's about realizing that even when something doesn't last forever, you can still feel grateful that it happened at all," said Sampson. "There's sadness in it, but also a lot of love. I hope people hear it and think about the person or moment they were lucky to have, even if it's not part of their life in the same way anymore."
The release continues a defining new chapter for Sampson, following recent singles "Not Even Gone" and "Misery," as well as renewed viral momentum around fan favorite "Pretty Baby," which has surpassed 174M total views on social media.
Earlier this year, Sampson kicked off his first headline tour across the U.S. and Canada, marking a major milestone in his growing career and further solidifying his connection with fans across North America.
Produced by David Pramik (Selena Gomez, Bebe Rexha, Logic), Growing Pains sees Sampson enter his most personal era yet, expanding on the heartfelt storytelling and emotional immediacy that have made him one of pop's most promising emerging voices. "How Lucky Am I?" offers a final glimpse into the EP's world before its release, setting the tone for a project rooted in reflection, growth and the complicated beauty of coming of age through love.
