MIDNIGHT TIL MORNING DROP DEBUT EP ‘AFTERGLOW’ WITH NEW SINGLE ‘HEART ON FIRE’ – OUT NOW!
Rising pop outfit Midnight Til Morning have just released their debut 7-track EP Afterglow alongside new single Heart on Fire and its official music video - landing just one day before the band kick off their first global tour across North America, Australia, and Europe (Dates Here). With sold-out shows already locked in for New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Paris, Amsterdam, Manchester, and Birmingham, the band’s momentum is undeniable.
At the core of Afterglow is a world-class roster of songwriting talent. The EP features contributions from some of the industry’s most in-demand writers: Amy Allen - widely regarded as the world’s hottest songwriter with credits for Harry Styles’ Adore You and Sabrina Carpenter’s Please, Please, Please; Adam Yaron, co-writer of Alex Warren’s current global hit Ordinary; pop superstar Benson Boone; and Feli Ferraro, who has penned tracks for BTS and Halsey. Midnight Til Morning themselves are also credited as songwriters throughout the EP - underscoring their creative vision and hands-on role in shaping their debut. Together, this line-up of hitmakers emphasises Midnight Til Morning’s arrival as a group with both the talent and the network to thrive on a global stage.
A dynamic seven-song collection, Afterglow captures the full spectrum of Midnight Til Morning's sound. It brings together standout singles Bye and Navy Eyes, which introduced the band to a global audience, alongside fan-favourites Ghost of Us and Welcome to LA. The focus track, Heart on Fire, sits at the centre as an up-tempo, stage-built anthem, with the track-list rounded out by two brand-new cuts, 17 and Edge of Amazing.
Heart on Fire was written by Yaron, Ferraro, Joshua Murty (Niko Moon) and Castle (Anne-Marie), and produced by Murty, whose polished yet emotional touch underscores the track’s anthemic punch. The accompanying video here, directed by Josh Harris with the acclaimed team at Recliner, pays homage to the iconic 90s and 00s campaigns from Gap and Calvin Klein - elevated, stylish, and bursting with energy to mirror the pure adrenaline of an MTM live show.
“Heart on Fire feels like the perfect song to lead into Afterglow because it captures the energy we want to bring to our shows and to this whole era,” says Mason Watts. “This EP is really the beginning of our story - we’ve poured every part of ourselves into these seven songs, and we can’t wait for people to connect with them the same way we do.”
Extending the story, 17 delivers a nostalgic, coming-of-age anthem that captures the wide-eyed rush of first love and youthful ambition. With soaring melodies and heartfelt lyrics, it showcases the band’s gift for weaving intimacy into widescreen pop. Meanwhile, stunning new ballad, Edge of Amazing channels Midnight Til Morning’s euphoric side, a track built for those live moments on tour where fans can lose themselves in the music together. These new songs solidify the EP as a complete body of work - a true statement of intent.
Formed on the Top 10 Global Netflix series Building the Band, Midnight Til Morning blends soaring vocals, emotional vulnerability, and undeniable charisma. The four-piece features Watts (26, Toowoomba, QLD), Conor Smith (22, Central Coast, NSW), Shane Appell (22, Upstate New York), and Zach Newbould (22, Boston, MA).
With career-defining endorsements, including Liam Payne’s early backing (“I’ve got a very big soft spot for you boys; you remind me a lot of what we were like. Don’t let me down!”) and a fast-growing audience, Midnight Til Morning’s ascent has been lightning fast. Since their debut in August, they’ve already surpassed 11 million streams on Spotify and expanded their U.S. and European tours with multiple second shows due to demand.
Afterglow is released globally through Chugg Music, with Midnight Til Morning signed to the label and management powerhouse for worldwide representation. Helmed by legendary music executive Michael Chugg AM and Andrew Stone - Chugg Music’s Co-Founder & CEO and the band’s manager and Head of A&R - MTM are positioned as one of the label’s most ambitious and globally focused acts.
On the touring front, Midnight Til Morning have signed to CAA for global live representation - Brian Manning and Brian Greenbaum for North America, Nigel Hassler for the UK, Europe, Latin America and Asia - and Evan Davis at Cornershop Agency for Australia and New Zealand. Their international touring strategy is further strengthened by a key partnership with AEG, ensuring the band’s live rollout is backed by one of the world’s most powerful promoters.
With Afterglow, the band step boldly into their biggest chapter yet - cementing their arrival as one of pop’s most dynamic new forces.
