Having just released her emotionally-charged and instantly classic pop song “When You Lose Someone” which has already had over one million streams, Nina Nesbitt now shares the song’s official video. It represents Nina’s latest visual collaboration with Wolf James after the recent singles “Life’s A Bitch” and “Summer Fling”.
The “When You Lose Someone” video is a beautifully depicted visualization of attempting to come to terms with overwhelming grief. Nina’s raw performance begins with her embracing a mysterious figure as a tear drifts down her face. Quite who or what she is holding onto remains open to interpretation, but as the story unfolds it’s clear that they will be separated. Ultimately, she stands alone. Her sense of mourning is palpable, but it is clear that the pain of letting go is a necessary part of the grieving process.

Speaking about the video, Nina reveals, “I’m so excited to share the video for ‘When You Lose Someone.’ It’s one of my favorite videos we’ve shot so far. I wanted to create a visualization of loss where people are able to imagine whoever they want in the person made of stars. Grief and loss take many shapes, so the video is as much mine as it is the viewer’s.”
Talking about the meaning behind the track, Nina says “Whether someone has passed away or for whatever reason isn’t in your life anymore, grief has many forms and facets. Learning to be without someone you love is one of the hardest things.’’

The video comes hot on the heels of Nina’s announcement that she will join British singer and songwriter, James Arthur for a North American Spring Tour. The 20-date run kicks off April 21st in Seattle, and includes performances in Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, Boston and more, before concluding on May 20th with a show at Pier 17 in New York City.
She adds, “I’m so excited to play my first gigs in over two years. They’ll be intimate events and I’ll be debuting some new songs from the upcoming album. Something I’ve missed is seeing your reactions to my songs, so I can’t wait to see how these ones go down.”
‘When You Lose Someone’ serves as the follow up to ‘Life’s A Bitch’, with its intricately textured alt-pop-meets-80s vibes. Check out a beautiful acoustic performance of the song HERE, directed by Jon Stone.
Nina’s new music follows the huge global fanbase she established with her second album ‘The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change’. That project accumulated over 530 million streams, including 100 million+ for the Radio 1 playlisted ‘The Best You Had’ – a song that won over famous fans led by Taylor Swift and Chloë Grace Moretz. ‘The Sun Will Come Up…’ and its subsequent deluxe edition elevated Nina to a place in Spotify’s Top 500 artists in the world as while her tracks have featured on over a thousand of the platform’s playlists.
That album raised the bar for the singer, songwriter, and producer as she emerged from a rising prospect to an artist with a global reputation. The album amassed a staggering half-a-billion streams (including for the now classic ‘Loyal To Me’ which was Top 10 most added at Top 40 radio) and propelled her into Spotify’s top 500 artists in the world. Earning acclaim from the likes of Marie Claire who praised the album for its “Joyful, dance-y pop with wrenching indie ballads, displaying a newfound maturity in the…songwriting,” and Billboard Magazine who hailed it “an iridescent work of pop mastery, showcasing Nesbitt’s proficiency as a songwriter, vocalist and producer,” with V Magazine proclaiming, “’The Sun Will Come Up’… captures the precise moment an artist finds herself blossoming into a full-blown pop star.”
Nina’s growing global reputation was further emphasized when she was named by Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech for the Woman of the Decade Award at Billboard’s Women in Music event. Nina would go on to win her own Women in Music Award, this time at the 2021 Scottish Music Awards.
Other highlights of 2021 included hitting #1 on TikTok UK’s Hot 50 with ‘Summer Fling’, collaborating with Seeb on ‘Sweet Dreams & Dynamite’ (which was also remixed by The Sticksman Project), and headlining the first ever Metaverse Festival alongside deadmau5 and Paris Hilton. Nina was included in an international campaign with Tiffany for their new Rose Gold perfume. It features her modernist take on The Beatles’ classic ‘All You Need Is Love.’ Watch the ad HERE.
Her collaborations to date have included countless collaborations, from dance acts Deacon (‘Long Run’), NOTD (‘Cry Dancing’) and R3HAB (‘Family Values’), to singer-songwriters Sasha Sloan and Charlotte Lawrence (‘Psychopath’) and global stars Jonas Blue (‘Desperate’) and Sigala (‘Somebody’). A particular highlight was teaming up with Ranji and WHITENO1SE. The duo had remixed ‘The Moments I’m Missing’ and dropped it at Ultra Music Festival, the reaction being so big that Nina subsequently joined them at a show in Mexico City in front of 20,000 people. Nina started 2021 by performing as a special guest at Liam Payne’s livestream event ‘LP Show Act 4’. In addition to her own set, she also joined him for the duet ‘For You’.
Stay tuned for more exciting news and music from Nina in the days to come.
