Charlotte OC makes her return with the stirring new track ‘God, We Tried’, a deeply personal single which marks a new era and artistic direction.

The tune marks the first glimpse of an upcoming EP set for release in early summer, and is a poignant and raw reflection on love, loss and grief.

It was written in the aftermath of Charlotte’s father’s passing, during a period of emotional turbulence that saw her seeking solace in a relationship that ultimately wasn’t meant to last.

“This song is deeply personal to me,” Charlotte comments. “I started writing it after my dad passed away. In my grief, I ended up in a relationship that probably wasn’t the healthiest choice for me, and I wasn’t truly allowing myself to heal. If I think about it, all I wanted was a male figure in my life, to fill a void.

“‘God, We Tried’ reflects the end of that relationship and the emotional complexity of trying to make something work when it really wasn’t right,” she continues. “It’s about love, loss, and the struggle to move forward while still processing deep grief.”
