Mirage Release Third Single ‘Steal My Heart’
Fresh off the success of their second New Zealand No.1 hit Before the Night, ever rising indie-pop sensation Mirage is back with their latest single, Steal My Heart – a high-energy, feel-good track destined for radio waves and festival stages alike.
The song took shape after an electrifying tour across New Zealand, when Mirage went to work in the studio, crafting new music for their growing fanbase. Steal My Heart is an infectious, good time anthem written by lead singer Ben Horlock, inspired by that all-consuming rush of new love.
“It’s about that moment when someone enters your life and completely takes over – when the connection is so intense that no one else exists,” Ben shares.
The song came together almost effortlessly, with the chorus melody first hitting him while driving down State Highway 2 toward a recording session in Mount Maunganui.
“I was humming the tune in the car, and by the time I arrived, I grabbed an acoustic guitar, played through the chords, and within 20 minutes, it all just clicked. It was one of those magical songwriting moments where everything just fell into place.”
Recorded over a few laid-back days in Tāmaki Makaurau with producer Christian Tjandrawinata (who also produced both their hit singles Summer Won’t Be The Same and Before the Night), Steal My Heart has already become a standout moment in their live set.
“We’ve playing this track every night at our shows, and the crowd energy is insane! It’s a proper fire starter – one of those songs that just lights everything up.
Drawing inspiration from Six60, Lime Cordiale, and Harry Styles, Mirage continues to carve out their own space in the Aotearoa music scene.
With its soaring melodies, infectious hooks, and undeniable charm, Steal My Heart further solidifies Mirage’s place as one of the most exciting emerging acts in Aotearoa.
Steal My Heart is now available on all major streaming platforms.
