London-based up-and-coming artist Corall Hooch has just released her new single, "CONFIDENT," an anthem that sounds as infectious as it is empowering. The track, now available on all platforms, is not just a song but an expression of self-affirmation in the face of insecurity.
"CONFIDENT" was penned in lockdown, a product of Corall's own struggle with body image after gaining weight. Rather than dodging her own reflection, she leaned into it, back rolls and dimples and all, harnessing that so-called imperfection to create a song about turning what others might think are flaws into badges of beauty. The outcome is a come-as-you-are dancefloor anthem for every girl. We'll broaden this to everyone who has ever felt anything other than perfect.
"CONFIDENT" sits comfortably next to bruisers like Doja Cat's Boss Bitch, Lizzo's Tempo, or even Charli XCX's banger 360. It's brash, lighthearted, and full of attitude, filled with sleek beats and a hook that sticks despite itself. You can hear it bursting from speakers at maximum volume, soundtracking nights out, mirror moments, and each strut down the street.
Serving as the lead single and title track from her soon-to-be-released mini-album, set to drop Spring 2026, "CONFIDENT" provides a glimpse of what's to come, an eight-song investigation of confidence in women. If this initial bite is anything to go by, Corall Hooch is on her way to making a name for herself as an unyielding force within the pop scene, one fuelled by the message of self-truth, strength, and happiness in being who you are, exactly as you are.
