“I wrote “The Border” back in June of 2021, on my first solo work trip to Sydney. The night before I flew to Sydney, I had a huge fight with my partner at the time and I remember getting on the flight, putting my headphones on and crying the whole flight. I met up with Hauskey for the first time to have a session, and as we talked about our lives, I opened up about feeling deflated in the relationship. I unmasked the fact that I should have left the relationship months prior, but I had been holding on to the hope that he would change his behaviour but at the time he couldn’t, didn’t want to or maybe he didn’t know how to… I remember leaving the session listening to the demo of “The Border” on repeat because I felt every. single. lyric. Now having the perspective of years behind this relationship I still really don’t understand why I stayed in such a toxic relationship for so long but in a bittersweet way I’m glad I did because I made “The Border”. – HANNI.

This new single follows the success of her earlier releases, Sad Girl Hours and I Would, both of which will also feature on Sentimental Me. The upcoming album is expected to highlight HANNI’s best work to date, offering an introspective dive into love, loss, and self-empowerment. The EP’s cover art reflects this emotional depth, providing a visual representation of the turmoil inside her mind.
