PRE-ORDER VICTORIA EP
Of the release, Thomas Headon shares: 'I wrote 'How Do I Know' after going on a first date. It's basically a song about questioning whether you're in love with someone or whether it's just an in-the-moment feeling lol. It was written in Australia when I was home for the summer. I think it's super bright and fun for that reason and makes me glad I'm starting off the year by releasing this. It's one of the first songs I made off this EP and definitely one of my favourites.'
‘How Do I Know?' follows Thomas’ recent hits ‘Nobody Has To Know’ (added to high rotation at triple j) and ‘Strawberry Kisses’ (Radio 1-playlisted) - which was also dubbed Radio 1’s Hottest Record - as the third offering from his upcoming EP, he also recently collaborated with Chloe Moriondo and Alfie Templeton on the brilliant 'Dizzy', and featured on G Flip's single 'Not Even In Vegas'. Thomas also performed 'Nobody Has To Know' live for ABC's The Sound Season 3, watch here. Hundreds of lucky fans already got a chance to preview the new EP at the UK's Reading & Leeds festival, which marked Thomas' first UK festival, where he played to a packed out Dance Stage, and met Norwegian popstar Sigrid, who he will be joining on tour in Spring 2022 following a stint of headline tour dates around the UK in November 2021 - which included two sold-out nights at London’s Heaven.
