"This is the most vulnerable and honest song I’ve ever written," said the singer.
RuthAnne has released a new single 'The Way I'm Wired.' She has also announced a forthcoming book, It's Not Just A Song, set for release this autumn.
The artist's new song has been inspired by Carole King, Aretha Franklin, and Stevie Nicks.
“I wrote ‘The Way I’m Wired’ during a really bad endo flare-up," said the singer. "I was keeled over on the bed, and through tears, I voice-noted the chorus. That day, I had to cancel a writing session with an artist who had flown me abroad to collaborate because I was too sick to move.
"Over the years, I’ve had to cancel work and social events due to my health conditions, and I realized I had never truly written a song about the battle I’ve faced with endometriosis and adenomyosis for the past eight years," she added.
"This is the most vulnerable and honest song I’ve ever written. It’s not about being a victim or seeking sympathy—it’s about telling the truth, breaking the stigma, and admitting, 'this is just the way I’m wired.'"

The Donaghmede singer-songwriter has also shared a music video for her latest release, featuring videos of women whose lives have been affected by endometriosis.
The Grammy and Brit nominee's upcoming book It's Not Just A Song will serve "as an essential guide for aspiring songwriters, featuring insights from industry heavyweights and candid discussions on navigating the music business as a woman," reads a statement.
The book is set for release this autumn.
RuthAnne is known for co-writing hits such as JoJo's 'Too Little Too Late,' Martin Garrix and Bebe Rexha's 'In the Name of Love,' and Britney Spears' 'Work Bitch.'
Her single 'The Vow' hit No.1 on the Irish iTunes Chart, and has become a staple for weddings, engagements, and other celebrations.
She released her debut album, Matters of the Heart, in 2019.

RuthAnne also came up with the idea to create Irish Women in Harmony, a collective that boasts 34 of Ireland's leading female artists, including Úna Healy, Moya Brennan, Orla Gartland, Loah, Imelda May. They first gained prominence during the Covid-19 pandemic with a rendition of The Cranberries' 'Dreams'.
The group are set set to join Alanis Morissette as special guests in her shows at Dublin's Malahide Castle and Belfast's Belsonic this summer.
