Ava Valianti – Buttercups

At just 15 years old, Ava Valianti continues to make waves with the release of her latest single, Buttercups, arriving July 11 on all major platforms.

A warm acoustic guitar opens the release, swiftly followed by Valianti’s welcoming and emotionally charged vocal performances. The listener is taken on a journey guided by Valianti’s soulful tones and thoroughly magnetic melodies.

Lyrically, Buttercups is relatable and filled with engaging storytelling. We adore the effortless but powerful delivery that fully immerses the audience, and Buttercups is a single that will have you reaching for the repeat button.

In addition, the chorus is thoroughly addictive and stays with the listener long after the music has ended. The intelligent chordal progressions are deeply affecting and moving.

The second half of the song changes tempo, and it is an unexpected but welcome change of pace. The intelligent arrangement is engaging and makes Buttercups a single that needs to be on your new release playlist!

Comments

Valianti says about the release, “Buttercups is a song that encapsulates the experience of love, loss, and searching for purpose. It’s a song that’s centered around memories that are hard to let go of – the cinnamon smell, the creaky doors, the buttercups – and how even when things are complicated, those memories remind me why I cared in the first place.”

She continues, “This is one of my favourite songs I’ve ever created. I truly had so much fun making it, and I hope that comes across when you listen!”

Debut EP Due for Release

With momentum from radio play, major live shows, and award nominations, Buttercups marks another confident step forward. It’s a song born from memory and emotion—bold, reflective, and unmistakably Ava—as she prepares to release her debut EP later this fall.

Body of Work

Buttercups reflects a young artist who’s already showing remarkable depth, confidence, and consistency. With every release, Ava Valianti proves she’s not just building a career—she’s crafting a body of work that speaks across generations.

Latest Chapter

Whether on stage, in the studio, or through the speakers, Valianti continues to turn moments into music that lingers. Buttercups is the latest chapter in a journey that’s only just beginning—and already leaving a lasting impression.
