Mulaa Joans surprise drops EP led by new single ‘That Ain’t You’

Following a breakout run marked by sold-out London shows and millions of streams on recent tracks like ‘Love Letter’ and ‘Birthday Makeup’, rising UK singer-songwriter Mulaa Joans has returned with the surprise release of an EP, led by the empowering single ‘That Ain’t You’.

An unapologetic anthem tackling modern dating fatigue, ‘That Ain’t You’ captures Mulaa at her most sharp and candid. Over a commanding vocal performance, she calls out performative entitlement and insecurity, delivering a swift reality check that her self-worth is non-negotiable.

Packaging fan-favourite tracks ‘Normal People’ and ‘Parallel Lines’ alongside hits like ‘Phone Sex’, ‘Birthday Makeup’ and ‘Love Letter’, the surprise EP ties together her signature blend of raw vulnerability and wit, drawing a line under this formative chapter before stepping into an exciting new era.

Talking about the track and EP, Mulaa said: “I wrote this song in Lisbon with Max Wolfgang. We actually set out to write my first ever love song and got all the way to the line ‘There’ll be a day where I want to say I do.’ Then we paused and thought ‘What if this isn’t a love song’, adding ‘…and That Ain’t You’ to completely flip the script. It has a gospel feel, which is different from anything I’ve done, but everything just fell into place. My voice, tone, and lyrics keep it connected to the rest of my music.

I’m so excited for this song to be out into the world alongside other favourites like Normal People and Parallel Lines. It was important for me to release these as a package before entering my next chapter which I can’t wait for people to hear and see!”
