Tyla isn’t just teasing a new song—she’s ushering in a full-on spiritual awakening with her upcoming single, “Bliss,” dropping Friday, May 9, 2025. The Grammy-winning global pop star made the big reveal on Instagram, angel wings and all, and fans? They absolutely lost it.
From Coachella to smoothie counters (more on that later), Tyla’s Bliss Era is shaping up to be her most daring—and dreamy—yet.
The Drop We’ve Been Waiting For
It’s official: “Bliss” marks Tyla’s first solo release since her self-titled debut album and its deluxe edition, and signals a sonic shift toward something more introspective and emotionally rich. The track was first previewed during her Coachella 2025 set, and now—thanks to a celestial teaser and a very casual “link in bio” moment—we’ve got a release date.
In a recent Billboard Women in Music interview, Tyla teased:
“I don’t think it’s going to be the same energy (as Tyla) at all… It’s different, but also still Tyla.”
Different how? Think soft angel-core meets sultry R&B—with a side of Afropop flavor. Yes, please.
The Internet Enters the Bliss Era
The second Tyla posted her angelic transformation on IG, Twitter, and TikTok became ground zero for a “Bliss” explosion.
One TikTok fan declared, “This song is going to baptize me,” while another posted, “I didn’t just pre-save ‘Bliss,’ I signed a soul contract.”
Meanwhile, beauty creators are already replicating her signature sand-swept glow and angel wings using glitter and bronzer.
Coachella Sneak Peek: A Moment
At Coachella 2025, Tyla debuted the track live—and it was heavenly. Fans swooned over the hook:
“Take me out of my mind… You take me to bliss.”
Clips of the crowd singing along (to a song that hadn’t even dropped yet!) went viral. One fan wrote, “It felt like falling in love under moonlight.” Swoon.
Wait, There’s a Smoothie?
Because Tyla is nothing if not extra in the best way, the track also shares its name with her new Erewhon smoothie collab. Called “Bliss” (naturally), the creamy, dreamy concoction comes with a purpose: proceeds go to South African nonprofit 18twenty8, empowering young women through education.
Blending taste, music, and philanthropy? We’ll sip to that.

What We Know About the Sound
From what we’ve heard, “Bliss” is a smoldering love song—vulnerable yet powerful. Lyrics like “Never found a love like this” point to a more personal, romantic narrative. The track leans deeper into melodic R&B and Afropop, with a lush production that echoes Tyla’s growing emotional range.
Visually, the angelic teaser speaks volumes. Tyla is embracing softness and sensuality, not just through music, but through every fiber of her artistry.
Why This Moment Matters
Tyla’s rise from South African breakout to international icon has been nothing short of meteoric. From the global success of “Water” to Grammy win and Met Gala slaying, she’s proved her staying power. “Bliss” doesn’t just continue that momentum—it resets the bar entirely.
With rumors of a sophomore album swirling, this feels like the beginning of a bold creative evolution: one that blends soul-searching vulnerability with global pop sophistication.
Ready for Lift Off
Tyla’s “Bliss” isn’t just a vibe—it’s a movement. The music, the visuals, the smoothie (yes, still obsessed)—it all points to an artist who’s in full control of her narrative, yet totally open to growth.
So whether you’re pre-saving the track or manifesting angel wings, one thing’s for sure:
Tyla’s Bliss Era is here. And we’re all just lucky to witness it.
