Holly Humberstone shares the title track from her highly anticipated second album Cruel World.
The song captures the emotional centre of the record, the dichotomy
between pain and pleasure, and addresses the euphoria and pain of long-distance love.
“Cruel World” comes from the euphoria and pain of long-distance. Your perception of the world around you can be
completely distorted without that one person in it. There’s no fun in going out solo when the only place you want to be
is wherever they are. Loving someone that much is always going to hurt a little. This is the dichotomy of pain and
pleasure. Love is so painful at its core and this is the throughline of my record. This is my favourite song I’ve ever
written!” - Holly Humberstone
