On her new single “Hello Again,” the German singer-songwriter Zoe Wees takes her deep-diving anthem to a new level. Famed for her emotionally resonant voice and lyrical sincerity, Zoe journeys into even more exposed territory in this raw, harrowing look at toxic love. The track, which was released as her second single of 2025, is another emotional piece in a puzzle from her forthcoming sophomore album.
“Hello Again” sounds like one of those late-night confessions made in a low-lit room. It’s stark, chilling, and doesn’t pull any punches. Written with Jaro, Leon Milla, Richard Boardman, and Zoe herself and produced by Boardman, Milla, Patrick Pyke Salmy, and Ricardo Muñoz, the track also leans into minimalist production, allowing Zoe’s voice the space to ache, breathe, and breakthrough. This is a heartbreak ballad and a survivor’s song. Zoe talks about a physically and emotionally draining relationship, revealing the pain and shame she carried for years. “Hello Again” gives a duality of warning and a warm embrace for anyone trapped in the dark.
There’s a quiet genius in how the song never goes over the top. Instead, it simmers quiet rage and aching sadness matched by a dash of relief. It’s that restraint of emotion that makes it hit so hard. The storytelling is raw and lived as if plucked from diary pages that Zoe never intended anyone else to read. Zoe did so nonetheless for the sake of helping someone else find it a little easier to breathe.
“Hello Again” is a proclamation. Zoe Wees reminds us that healing is not always loud or glamorous. Sometimes, it’s quiet. Sometimes, it’s in a whisper. Other times, it’s in reintroducing yourself, not to the person who hurt you but in a different way, to the version of yourself that is finally ready to let go. With this release, Zoe has kept carving out her lane as one of pop’s least afraid truth-tellers, and if this is the emotional register of her next album, we’re all in for something potent.
