RARIA is just getting started.

RARIA has taken the world by storm with her early 2022 EP, Happy Sad, which explores tales of love, dating and heartbreak in her unique style of heart-on-her-sleeve storytelling. 

Now, premiering today via The Music, RARIA strikes again with her new single, 3 Times, bringing her signature pop style to the next level. The result is light-hearted and fresh and makes you want to sing along at the top of your lungs. 

On the new song, RARIA comments: "I've been in three serious relationships and been heartbroken all three times in the space of six years. It's fair to say that I'm over it and too busy for a fourth time!!! I wanted to write a song that anybody who is over-searching for' the one' can scream at the top of their lungs. It's okay to be sick and tired of having failed relationships!"

Showing off her bubbly personality and donning a Britney Spears-esque school outfit, RARIA dominates the screen as she sings about lost loves and her newfound resolve to skip the heartache. 3 Times is the epitome of fun and comes straight from RARIA's creative genius, demonstrating that she's here to stay.

"I remember the day I was writing 3 Times... I saw all the visuals in my head for it straight away. I quickly wrote everything down in my notes as my brain was just ticking away with ideas for it. If I wasn't a musician, I think I'd be a full-time music video director because I honestly have the best time creating music videos!!! I chose to film the 3 Times music video at a school because my first two heartbreaks happened while I was young at school. I was always falling for the 'bad boys', so it only felt right to go back to that era.

"Also, the title 3 Times just made me think of numbers, timetables, anything to do with learning and the number 3! So, I decided to base the visuals around the number 3 quite a bit. I also felt really young and dumb when dating my first two boyfriends all those years ago.. so I just wanted to be a kid in this and be silly and have fun. Not take it too seriously and just jump the pain and trauma away on tables, haha. Filming my videos with my good friend Nathan Smart is always a dream. He visually makes all my ideas come to life. Hope you like it!!!!! <3"
