Abbey Lane returns with vulnerable, immersive new single, 'Burning Out'

Sydney’s Abbey Lane returns, this time with her first-ever self-produced release in the intimate single, ‘Burning Out’.

With 13 years of experience behind her, Abbey Lane has developed a distinct voice marked by smooth instrumentals and masterful vocals, a combination that continues to turn heads.

Abbey strips things back with ‘Burning Out’, crafting a gentle, intimate soundscape. Guided by soft synths and a subtle electronic beat, her delicate vocal delivery leads listeners through a song that is both minimal and emotionally layered deep in its simplicity.

A shift in tone for Abbey Lane, ‘Burning Out’ is as immersive as it is vulnerable. Layer upon layer of airy synths create the sensation of floating in slow motion — as if you’re drifting through a tunnel of memories and missed chances. Abbey’s smoky, intimate vocal holds you close and quietly pleads for reassurance. It’s a song that captures the quiet panic of not knowing where you’re meant to be, and the strange comfort in realising none of us really do. Just bodies clinging to a rock, spinning through space, doing our best.

This meditative track allows the lyrics to take centre stage. Written for anyone feeling overwhelmed or unsure of their place in the world, ‘Burning Out’ offers solace and a moment of stillness in a chaotic world. As Abbey shares:

"This track is for anyone having a quarter life crisis. I wrote it in a confused time of feeling lost in my twenties, where some friends are getting married and having kids, others are living day to day travelling the world, and I was conflicted between knowing what I should want and where I should be."

A seasoned performer and collaborator, Abbey has written with artists like Yung Bleu and Tenille Arts, and performed at festivals including Old Bar Beach Festival (Surftrash, Kim Churchill), Rockhampton River Festival (Eskimo Joe), and Never Had So Much Fun (supporting Ula and Eluera).

Her first release of 2025, ‘Baby Steps’, was featured across outlets such as Rolling Stone, Triple J, and more. It was then followed by the bright, pop-rock single ‘Younger’ just last month. Now, with ‘Burning Out’, Abbey Lane delivers something softer and more introspective.
