Iris Caltwait hits hard with new single "Serpentine"

Norwegian singing sensation Iris Caltwait returns with her intriguing new single, "Serpentine." The song is the fifth from her forthcoming sophomore album, "Again, for the first time", which will be released on November 7th, 2025.

"Serpentine" is a sharp exhale of vulnerability and fire. Inspired by a friend's death two years ago, the song is personal and universal, weaving grief, anger, and reclamation of self. Penned and produced by Askjell Solstrand, Sander Askeland & Vilde Iris Hartveit Kolltveit, the song is warm and richly layered with unapologetic candidness in its lyrics. Caltwait characterizes the song as a reclamation, a confession that translates vividly through the track's barbed verses that rise to a chorus as fierce as it is liberating.

"Serpentine" is both tender and feral, a ballad and a battle cry. Caltwait doesn't avoid the darkness of betrayal, but instead lets it twist into a source of strength. The result is a single that not only cements the anticipation for "Again, for the first time", but also emphasises Iris Caltwait's place as one of pop's most emotionally fearless voices.
