Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Fenne Lily will release her fourth album, Win Win, on October 23 via Nettwerk, sharing the tender new single “Uh Huh” today.
Fenne Lily is back with a new record—and a reminder that getting to the next love isn’t always a straight line.
The Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter will release her fourth album, Win Win, on October 23 via Nettwerk. The announcement arrives with the release of a new song, “Uh Huh,” a track Lily frames as tenderly affirming without pretending the past disappears when someone new shows up.
“In the end of one love and the start of another. when you meet someone new but the residual pain from the time before is holding you back. ” Lily said in a statement about “Uh Huh.” She added. “Every breakup has felt like it’ll hurt forever but it’s always led me to something different. often better. never nothing.”.
On the track. the idea lands in a simple. stubborn lyric: “If I only have this one life it should take the shape I’m in. ” Lily sings. She says she wrote “Uh Huh” from a “good place,” and that the line helped prove it to her. “I was in a good place when I wrote ‘Uh Huh’ and writing this line particularly proved that to me. ” she said. “I was shocked that I meant it, shocked at how much had changed.”.
For Lily, the song also became a kind of creative reset—something that needed to hold its ground. “It needed to be solid, sound strong and sure of itself,” she said. “From the start this one leaned more country than the songs I’d been writing, though. Like I’d absorbed some of the America I live in now. British country music…”.
Win Win is Lily’s follow-up to her last album, 2023’s Big Picture. Before the new release lands, she’s also already shared her thinking in the lead-up—this time making room for both the damage that lingers and the new shape it can still take.

Win Win?? Isn’t that like a gaming thing or am I mixing it up
The song title “Uh Huh” sounds like something my grandma would text me instead of calling. But I mean… if it’s tender and “country” now then ok.
So is “Uh Huh” about like moving on while still being mad? I feel like that’s every breakup song ever though. Also Nettwerk releases stuff like it’s always streaming so I’m surprised they didn’t say Spotify first lol.
Not to be that guy but Brooklyn singer-songwriter + “British country music” makes no sense to me. Like country is country, right? Anyway “If I only have this one life it should take the shape I’m in” is kinda deep and kinda cheesy. I swear I’ve heard this vibe before from that girl with the acoustic set…
