Raye says there’s a serious undertone to her frisky new single, Where Is My Husband!
Glastonbury, summer 2025. Raye is wheeled onto the Pyramid Stage in a giant flight case marked “Caution, contents may be fragile.”
Freed by two tuxedoed roadies, the pop star teeters to her microphone in a black sequinned ball gown and does the worst thing a performer can do – plays a brand new song.
“When I think about it now, that was really bold,” she laughs.
“I got out of that box and I was like, ‘No-one knows this. Everyone hates it, everyone hates it!'”
Not quite. Because the song was Where Is My Husband!, a blistering pop-funk throwback that became an instant earworm.
Fans streamed the Glastonbury performance 1.2 million times while they waited for an official release. When the single finally came out last week, it entered the charts at number four.
The insanely catchy bridge – where Raye longs for ”
