Lebanese/Australian pop/rock artist YAGKI has returned with her expansive new single, Adults – produced by Yianni Adams (BettyKyoshi).

Adults opens with swirling synths and confronting vocals, beginning with the poignant line, “I was 17, while you were married and a teacher in my course”. Cinematic synths build, leading to the euphoric chorus with tension that peaks and releases, creating a dynamic interplay of introspective moments and explosive crescendos.

YAGKI shares the inspiration behind Adults: “I had an intimate relationship with my ex-uni lecturer just a year after finishing my course. I met him at 17 when I enrolled in a music university, and in only two months, the teacher who once inspired me shattered my admiration through an intense imbalance of power. I found myself sharing a bed with him only when we shared his medicated weed, and I tried to distance myself until he finally let go. ‘Adults’ is about people in the music industry who abuse their power and authority, failing to take responsibility for those who look up to them the most.”

Accompanying the release is a three-city tour across WANSW and VIC, sharing the stage with the likes of PlaylunchSophian and REX.

Last September, YAGKI embarked on a One-Day Global Tour, performing in three countries in one day. Along with this, she recently performed in Mexico and in 2023 she performed outside Accor Stadium to approximately 30,000 people, along with multiple UNSW Roundhouse performances.
