“Look At The State Of Me Now” is a collaboration with Ben Fletcher and Tom Higham of Aquilo. The duo co-wrote, produced, and recorded the track alongside Maya in their London studio. Splitting instrumental duties, Maya handled guitar and vocals, Tom contributed guitar, and Ben covered keys, bass, and drums. The synergy among them resulted in a rich sound that perfectly complements the song’s themes.
According to Maya Delilah, “‘Look At The State Of Me Now’ is about looking at yourself at the breaking point in a relationship. There’s a big part of you that wants to stay but you also know you’d be crazy if you did. It’s about feeling conflicted as the other side of you wants to make it work. I’m sure so many people have felt this way just like myself.” This sentiment is universally relatable, capturing the bittersweet essence of love and heartbreak.
Maya further adds that she enjoys writing in the 6/8 time signature, which amplifies the song’s emotional impact. The waltz-like rhythm creates a compelling listening experience that aligns perfectly with the song’s theme of heartbreak and inner struggle. As fans eagerly await her debut album, “Look at the State of Me Now” stands as a testament to Maya Delilah’s capability to convey deep emotions through music.

Maya Delilah attended the prestigious BRIT School whose alumni include Adele, Amy Winehouse, and FKA twigs, among many others. In 2020, lockdown put a pause on the background session work Maya had begun to do within her community of music-making friends, so she turned to livestreams and TikTok where she built up a devoted following with unadorned clips where she would sit cross-legged on the floor, a bed, or a table, her fingernails dancing over the strings, making the guitar sing out whole moods.
Throughout two self-released EPs (2020’s Oh Boy, 2021’s It’s Not Me, It’s You), she amassed more than 50 million streams of fan favorites like “Breakup Season” and “Tangerine” that greeted heartache with humor. Maya began releasing music on Blue Note/Capitol in 2022, reinterpreting Cassandra Wilson’s cover of Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon” for Blue Note Re:imagined II, and following with a trilogy of 2023 singles: “Actress,” “Necklace,” and “Silver Lining.” Maya was named to the Fender Next Class of 2024, a huge co-sign from the guitar brand she’s been playing since age 8.
