Following the emotional impact of his November 2024 release, ADHD, James Arthur continues to captivate listeners with his latest single, "Celebrate," released today. The track serves as the second single from his highly anticipated sixth studio album, PISCES, which is set to drop on March 21, 2025. A deeply introspective anthem, "Celebrate" explores themes of growth, resilience, and self-acceptance while offering a glimpse into James’ journey from adversity to self-realization.

Fans can listen to "Celebrate' below.

"Celebrate" deftly blends raw emotion with electrifying musicality, presenting James Arthur’s signature style with a new edge. The song is a poignant reflection on James' struggles, with deeply personal lyrics like:

"I’ve come a long way from nowhere. I’ve given up on friends of mine,
‘Cause when I needed friends, they weren’t there.
A phone call could’ve saved my life…
I don’t wanna hate myself no more.”

Flashes of guitar punctuate the song, mirroring the emotional vulnerability that permeates the track. The lyrics grapple with loneliness and a yearning to be heard, as James asks plaintively: “Can anybody hear me? Can anybody help?”

Discussing the inspiration behind the song, James shared:

There’ve been many times over the course of my life where I’ve lost the ability to live in the moment, or I’ve been in a room full of people yet somehow I still felt alone. We’re always striving for more and forget to exercise gratitude for what we already have or have achieved. People often tell me I should celebrate more, but the truth is I’m not very good at it—so I wrote this song about that very thing. I hope it makes you feel something.”

PISCES promises to be one of James Arthur’s most personal and experimental projects yet. The album, which reflects James’ astrological sign, delves into themes of vulnerability, mental health, and self-discovery. Known for his powerful ballads, James incorporates a dreamier, more subdued sound on this record, pairing ethereal production with his unmistakable raw emotion.

“Being a Pisces, I’ve always resonated with the duality of my sign—sensitive, introspective, and a natural dreamer,” James explained. This connection to his astrological identity has inspired the album’s introspective and deeply emotional tone.

James Arthur has solidified himself as a global powerhouse in contemporary pop and soul, boasting over 38 million monthly Spotify listeners and 11 Platinum singles in the UK alone. His chart-topping hits like “Impossible,” “Say You Won’t Let Go,” and “Rewrite the Stars” have earned him international acclaim and billions of streams worldwide.

His latest album, Bitter Sweet Love, climbed to the top of the UK charts in 2024, marking his second #1 album in the UK. This success was celebrated with a sold-out UK and European arena tour, culminating in a performance before 25,000 fans in his hometown of Middlesbrough.

James’ collaborations with stars like Kelly Clarkson ("From the Jump") and covers of Tom Petty classics demonstrate his versatility and ability to reach diverse audiences.
