Kat's most recent, 2025 single.
Kat wrote this song after losing her mom in 2024. She says, "it's about a moment in life in which something awful happens and you feel immediately changed. You know your life is never gonna be the same and you've got no choice but to keep going... there's a strange freedom in that."
Purchase the track directly from Kat, herself.

LYRICS
I didn’t expect the sun to be shining
When I woke up today
How come everyone keeps carrying on
As though she hasn’t gone away
And you expect me to listen to you talk
Cause normally I would stay
But now that I’ve had the worst day of my life
Now that I’ve had the worst day
Now that I’ve had the worst day of my life
I’ll be on my way
Oh what a life full of worry and strife
Hoping that someone approves
Trying to control everything I could hold
Terrified what I’d lose
And so afraid to make the wrong choice
That I couldn’t make a move
But now that I’ve had the worst day of my life
Now that I’ve had the worst day
Now that I’ve had the worst day of my life
I’ve got nothing to prove
Here am I on the other side of a door
To a world I knew that I can’t get to anymore
Oh ho oh
(Instrumental solo)
Oh ho oh
Oh ho oh
Now that I’ve had the worst day of my life
Now that I’ve had the worst day
Now that I’ve had the worst day of my life
I’ll be on my way hey hey
Now that I’ve had the worst day of my life
Now that I’ve had the worst day
Now that I’ve had the worst day of my life
I’ll be on my way-hey-hey-hey
Hey hey
Woah
