CIAN DUCROT STARTS 2025 WITH A BANG WITH THE NEW SINGLE ‘WHO’S MAKING YOU FEEL IT’

The first chapter of Cian Ducrot’s career took the then unknown newcomer to phenomenal success, with his debut album ‘Victory’ shooting to #1 in the UK and Ireland as he amassed over one billion streams globally and played ever-bigger shows across the globe. Now an even more impactful era gets underway in 2025, starting with today’s release of his new single ‘Who’s Making You Feel It’ and its equally ecstatic official video. It follows his recent first Grammy nomination as the co-writer of SZA’s smash hit ‘Saturn’.

Today also sees the announcement of Cian supporting Grammy-nominated Teddy Swims on his European and UK tour throughout February and March. The tour includes Birmingham, London, Glasgow, Manchester and Dublin.

‘Who’s Making You Feel It’ feels like an invigorating evolution in Cian’s style from his debut album. The bright, spacious piano melody that opens the song brings to mind the timelessness of early Elton John, but with a contemporary, radio-friendly twist when the flighty, punchy chorus soars to the stratosphere. Fans have come to love Cian for his emotionally-charged lyricism, but there’s a subtle evolution on that front too: where he would previously strike direct at the heart of the sentiment, now there’s a playfulness to his words which brings a fresh sense of character to his songwriting.
 
Cian says, ““The song is basically one big, ‘Tell me, is this new guy better than me?’” “It’s about how we all find ourselves stalking our exes even if we say we don’t. And when you inevitably notice them moving on, that feeling of jealousy and curiosity pops up and you just need to know, ‘Who is it? Who’s making you feel better than I did?’ Or, ‘I notice it looks like your life is amazing and you’re really making the most of it all, but also DO YOU MISS MEEEE?!’ It’s also a bit sarcastic in a way, asking this person if they got everything they dreamed of after leaving you and saying you ‘hope’ they did.  It finally feels like the beginning of a new chapter I’ve been so eager to find and a part of me I’ve been so eager to express and discover!  Creating music without walls or limits or any boundaries has allowed me to be so much more creative and to really create from a place of complete freedom! I hope you love this song and how it makes you feel as much as I do!”
 
Cian first introduced ‘Who’s Making You Feel It’ on the biggest of stages. He debuted the song during his huge New Year’s Eve show at Dublin Castle, which was broadcast live across Ireland. Cian wrote the song with Theo Hutchcraft (Calvin Harris, Louis Tomlinson) and the Grammy winner Lostboy (Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding’s ‘Miracle’, Kylie Minogue’s ‘Padam Padam’), who also produced it.
 
The uplifting charm of the song is complemented by a similar aesthetic in what is Cian’s most ambitious visual to date. It sees Cian embracing playful choreography and movement in a way that brings a touch of classic Hollywood glamour into his world. Filmed in Hungary, the video was directed by Jasmine De Silva, and was produced by Rhory Danniells for Intergalactic Studios.

Cian’s success with ‘Victory’ encompassed many more highlights, including two UK Top 20 hits – the Platinum-certified ‘All For You’ and the Gold-certified ‘I’ll Be Waiting’ – winning the RTÉ Choice Music Prize Irish Song of the Year, and building tremendous engagement across socials with 4.5 million followers at TikTok and another million at Instagram. The album’s impact continued long after its release, as Cian played to a total of 36,000 people across two headline shows in Dublin and Cork before touring North America as special guest to Calum Scott. He has also introduced a handful of new tracks in the shape of ‘Here It Is’, ‘something i can’t afford’ and, most recently, ‘Can’t Even Hate You’.
 
There will be much more to come on all fronts from Cian Ducrot as 2025 marches on – expect the statement that he made with ‘Victory’ to be amplified this time around.
