Samira bursts onto the scene in 2025 with an anti-Valentine’s anthem

British pop singer Samira challenges Valentine’s Day with a vibrant, empowering track that champions independence and self-love.

Emerging British pop star Samira kicks off the year with an explosive release: Valentine’s Day (I Ain’t Got Time For That). The track, now available on all platforms, is a declaration of emotional independence and a reminder that self-love comes first.

Written on Valentine’s Day last year, the single was inspired by an unexpected and dramatic “ghosting” by a fitness influencer Samira was dating. Instead of a romantic dinner, the singer ended up in the studio, channeling her heartbreak into a catchy pop anthem.

“The lyrics are cheeky and fun, but they also carry a message about self-care. I can’t wait for you to hear what I’ve been working on for 2025,” the artist said.

Produced by Jonny Parry and mixed by Grammy Award winner Jeff Sojka, the single marks a new era for Samira, who in 2024 experimented with dance and electronic sounds, solidifying her place in the UK music scene. Backed by Billboard, CLASH, and MTV UK, the singer is emerging as one of the major bets in British pop this year.
