‘The Last Thing’ is the next chapter in SAPPHIRE’s love song legacy
British singer-songwriter continues her exploration of love with her latest single ‘The Last Thing’. Led by an upbeat acoustic guitar and backed by warm, intoxicating beats, this powerful pop track is like a sudden realisation of how much that special someone means to you. SAPPHIRE often features well-known phrases in her tracks, taking the familiar and transforming it into an expansive, formidable symbol. Framed by an irresistible pop hook, she defiantly sings “if it’s the last thing that I do,” reflecting not only her relationship but also her never-back-down approach to her art.
Speaking of her new release, SAPPHIRE eagerly expresses: “‘The Last Thing’ is one of my favourite songs I’ve ever written. It’s a Romeo-and-Juliet-style story, about knowing deep down that no matter what anyone says, you’ll always come back to that person. It’s intense, unapologetically raw, and one I’m VERY excited to play live.”
Building momentum on both stage and airwaves, SAPPHIRE has performed at major events including The Hundred at Southampton’s Utilita Bowl for BBC Introducing and the Silverstone Festival main stage supporting the one-and-only Craig David, as well as an intimate acoustic set at Speltham’s London pop-up. While tracks ‘You Liar’ and ‘Dissatisfied’ have reached international audiences through placements on Love Island USA. Recently, her single ‘Pessimist’ was featured on Notion, Ones To Watch, BBC Radio 1’s Future Pop with Maia Beth, BBC Radio Solent and Amazing Radio.
SAPPHIRE boasts an impressive 100 million streams for both her original music and cover song series on YouTube. It helps that the British musician has been in the public eye since she was just 7-years-old, recording herself singing and playing her favourite songs. As the years progressed and SAPPHIRE’s musical talents have gone from strength to strength, she found a dedicated audience that has now grown to a 1.5 million strong fanbase across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
As early as 2019, SAPPHIRE has collaborated and co-written with other artists. Including superstar DJ and producer Alan Walker, for whom she penned and sung the topline for global hit ‘Unity’.
She has also been releasing original music since 2020, with some of her most popular songs to date like ‘Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)’ and ‘call u mine’ racking up hundreds of thousands of streams on Spotify. However, those who discovered SAPPHIRE more recently might have done so through her viral TikTok Viral Sounds release ‘eddie’s song’, a sincere and playful ode to everyone’s favourite Stranger Things character Eddie Munson, that reached millions of listens throughout 2022. In 2024, SAPPHIRE dipped a toe into more dancey realms with her debut album LUCKY STAR.
Whether it’s creating her own original songs, covering a cherished classic, or collaborating with other artists, SAPPHIRE does everything with tenacity and heart. It’s for this reason that she’s amassed a global audience, with fans spread out across Europe, Northern America, Latin America, and Asia. SAPPHIRE continues to make her mark in the pop industry with her distinctive voice and powerful songwriting, captivating listeners with her authenticity and passion.
