(November 10, 2023) Today, chart-topping singer/songwriter and Emmy-award winning actress Dove Cameron released her new single “Sand” off of the first volume of her highly anticipated two part debut album, Alchemical: Volume 1 via Disruptor Records/Columbia Records. The track, a haunting and melancholic ballad, stands out as Cameron’s most vulnerable work to date. Listen to the new single HERE. Fans can look forward to a music video for the song in the coming weeks. Dove’s debut album, Alchemical: Volume 1, will be released on December 1. Presave the album, HERE.

“Sand” is a slow-burning testament to unbalanced love and the quiet agony of emotional disparity. Through her wistful melodies, Dove captures the essence of yearning for a connection that remains painfully out of reach. Her poignant lyrics, which began as a poem Dove had written as a diary entry, pose profound questions about love and desire, echoing the sentiments of hearts that have loved fully, but have not always received the same in return.

“What’s worse: being wanted but not loved, or loved but not wanted?” Dove sings, her voice a delicate balance between despair and clarity. The song’s chorus is a lament, a realization of love’s often harrowing truths, “But you have more pieces of me than the desert has sand, and I have less pieces of you than I can hold in my hand.”

“Sand” is more than a song; it’s an emotional landscape. Dove Cameron invites her audience to traverse the dunes of introspection and the mirages of love’s labor lost.

“‘Sand’ is about a person who I loved very much, and who I thought I was going to spend my life with,” shared Dove. “It’s about the experience of having that seemingly perfect relationship end so suddenly and without warning, the feeling of shock and overnight disintegration of the future you built together, realizing no matter how much i gave of myself, I still had so little of them in the end, and the feeling of being unable to get back even the smallest pieces of myself that I had given away. I hope when you hear this song, it helps you learn to trust your instincts when you fall for someone, and hold out for the one where the more you give, the more they give. Don’t be afraid to lose the ones who can’t possibly see you, not because you aren’t incredible, but because they never could in the first place.”

About the album, Dove shares, “Alchemical: Volume 1 is a report from the void of my own personal experience with love, sex, loss, trauma, darkness and eventually transformation and healing. I hope you hear yourself and we can meet in these moments in time together.”

“Sand” is the second song off her upcoming debut album. Last month, Dove released Lethal Woman as the first official track from Alchemical: Volume 1.
