Becky Hill Begins the Next Chapter With “what do i have to do?”
Becky Hill continues building anticipation for her upcoming album REBECCA with the release of her newest single, “what do i have to do?” The emotionally charged track offers another glimpse into the project ahead of its September 25 release through Polydor Records and Astralwerks.
Powered by pounding electronic production and Hill’s unmistakable vocals, the song explores the struggle between fighting for a relationship and recognizing when it’s time to move forward. The accompanying music video expands on that message by taking aim at unrealistic beauty standards online. What begins as a familiar “Get Ready With Me” video gradually transforms into a sharp satire inspired by real comments Hill has received about her appearance across social media.
The single follows previous album releases “More! More! More!” and “Hands On Me,” continuing the rollout for what Hill describes as “curated chaos.” Across REBECCA, she blends the dance music foundation that launched her career with indie and alternative influences while tackling themes of ambition, identity, visibility, and self-worth.
Alongside the new music, Hill has a busy summer ahead with headline performances and festival appearances before the album arrives this fall. Visit Becky Hill’s official website to pre-order REBECCA, stream the new single, and view upcoming tour dates.
