Ruel Unveils Exhilarating New Single ‘I Can Die Now’ Ahead of Sophomore Album

Australian indie-pop sensation Ruel has returned with his electrifying new single I Can Die Now. Produced and co-written alongside GRAMMY-nominated heavyweights Julian Bunetta (Sabrina Carpenter, One Direction), Ammo (Beyoncé, Britney Spears), and JKash (Charlie Puth, Dua Lipa), the track marks the first taste of Ruel’s highly anticipated sophomore album, slated for late 2025.

I Can Die Now is a high-energy pop anthem that perfectly captures the dizzying rush of falling recklessly in love. It pairs Ruel’s signature soulful vocals with lush production and infectious hooks, ushering in a bold new chapter for the 21-year-old artist.

“I’ve been waiting for what seems like forever to get I Can Die Now out. I love the juxtaposition between the title and the theme and energy of the song – once you listen to it, you’ll know what I mean. On top of that, ICDN is the first taste of what my new album might be like…” Ruel.

This release follows a breakout year for Ruel, including his Red Bull Symphonic shows, debut at Lollapalooza Chicago, and collaborations with SG Lewis and Omar Apollo. I Can Die Now signals a confident, playful Ruel entering his next era of global pop domination.
