Faye Meana finishes a years-old song and makes it the single All This Time

Faye Meana has released All This Time, a song she began several years ago and then abandoned. It came back to her last year, and she finished it in one session.

That history is part of what the song is about. Faye Meana wrote it while thinking back to a stretch when she had been sitting on her feelings for someone and saying nothing, frightened and certain at the same time. "I wanted to capture that moment right before you finally let someone in," she told Clash, describing it as a true love song without any qualification.

The arrangement takes an unexpected route to that. The track runs on a light bossa-tinged groove that points at Brazilian music rather than at the obvious reference points for a London pop-soul singer, and her vocal sits inside the rhythm rather than on top of it. The effect suits a song about holding something back.

It also lands at the right moment in the calendar. Clash frames the single as tapping the last of the summer, and the record does read as something made for the end of a season rather than the middle of one.

The single is drawn from I Meant To Say, an EP dated for 9 October. The title fits a song about words that went unsaid for years, which suggests the theme runs wider than this one track.

All This Time follows a productive stretch. The Way I Love and Mine both arrived earlier in 2026 and did a good deal to establish her, and three singles inside a year is a working pace for an artist at this stage rather than a trickle.

No label has been named in the report, and no further details about the EP's tracklist have been released.
