Melbourne’s Annabelle Grace returns with her third single, ‘Fingers Crossed’ which sees the singer/songwriter shift from the melancholic throws of her previous releases, into an upbeat, guitar-driven indie-pop anthem that captures the sting of broken promises ,wrapped in a shimmering summer sound.
Behind its infectious electric guitar riff and breezy production lies a poetic reflection on love, loss, and the realisation that sometimes, “forever” comes with fingers crossed behind the back. ‘Fingers Crossed’ is an upbeat, guitar and vocal driven indie-pop track that blends poetic yet witty lyricism, with the energy of summer.
Beneath its bright, sun-soaked production lies a bittersweet story of betrayal and the moment you realise someone’s promises were never real. Vivid storytelling and emotional honesty captures the song's tension between heartbreak and freedom, the kind you feel driving with the windows down, singing along just to let it all out.
It’s the perfect soundtrack for summer drives, beach days, and late-night reflection, holding bright, emotional, and effortlessly relatable.
‘Fingers Crossed’ marks a bright pivot for Annabelle Grace — stepping out from the melancholy shadows of ‘previous singles, ‘Throne’ and the Fiona Apple-tinged introspection of debut ‘Porcelain Face’, into something sunlit, buoyant and casually joyful. Where her earlier work carried a beautiful sense of weight, this one feels like she’s finally exhaling.
It’s indie-pop with the windows down, effortless in its vocal delivery and carried by a lightness that feels intentional rather than fleeting. Yet, woven beneath the shimmer is that same thread that ties her catalogue together — a folk-leaning approach to melody and storytelling, grounding the track in the honesty that first made her compelling.
‘Fingers Crossed’ is a playful left turn and an exciting reveal of range — a glimpse of what happens when Annabelle Grace lets the warmth in.
Following the releases of her debut singles Porcelain Face and Throne, this release shows a lighter, more playful side to Annabelle's Artistry, while still holding onto the raw, heartfelt writing that defines her music.
Perfect for road trips, beach days, or anyone reclaiming their joy after being let down, fingers crossed presents the sound of the summer, wrapped in warm tones, a catchy guitar riff, revolving synths and slightly vengeful lyrics, laced with wit, that we can all relate to.
‘Fingers Crossed’ is out now on all streaming platforms.
