2025 single by Raye
“Where Is My Husband!” is a song by the British singer-songwriter Raye. She wrote and co-produced it with her frequent collaborator Mike Sabath. After performing it at several festival appearances, Raye released the song through Human Re Sources on 19 September 2025, as the lead single from her upcoming second studio album. The release of “Where Is My Husband!” was accompanied by a music video, which sees Raye trying to reach a mysterious man.
Raye performed “Where Is My Husband!” on 28 June 2025 at the Glastonbury Festival, as the opening number of her set on the Pyramid Stage.[1] NME‘s writer Surej Singh said it was a “massive tune” and noted that the singer was accompanied by a brass band.[1] She later performed it at other festivals, including All Points East in England and Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.[2][3] Additionally, Raye teased the song on the video-sharing app TikTok on which a snippet of the bridge went viral.[4]
“Where Is My Husband!” was released on 19 September 2025 through Human Re Sources. It was billed as the lead single from Raye’s upcoming second studio album, which was made available to pre-order the same date and is set to be released in 2026.[4][5][2] In parallel to the single’s release, the singer announced a concert tour titled This Tour May Contain New Music, which is scheduled to pass through Europe and North America in 2026.[2][6] The release of “Where Is My Husband” was accompanied by a music video. It begins as a black-and-white video and later incorporates colour when Raye appears on stage wearing a red dress. The singer is later seen trying to reach the shadow of a man, without achieving it.[7] Raye performed the song on Today as part of the Citi Concerts series.[8]
Raye wrote and co-produced “Where Is My Husband!” alongside her frequent collaborator Mike Sabath.[4][9] Writing for Rolling Stone, David Browne categorised the song as a mix of old and new R&B, highlighting its use of horns and hip-hop sounds.[9] Paolo Ragusa from Consequence described it as a pop track with a retro style,[4] while Shahzaib Hussain from Clash interpreted it as a “brassy” R&B and soul song with elements of 1960s girl group music.[10]
The lyrics of “Where Is My Husband!” follow Raye searching for a male lifelong partner and referencing an engagement ring.[10][4] Throughout the song, she imagines how her life with him would be in the future: “Wait til I get my hands on him/I’ma tell him off too/For how long he kept me waiting”.[9] She later realises that “she must find herself if she wants love to find her”, according to Ragusa.[4] Discussing the single’s theme in an interview with British Vogue, Raye shared: “My last devastating break-up was four, five years ago. I was like, ‘I’m gonna marry him.’ We [were] together for two years and it ended up not working out. I have never experienced a more crippling emotion. It took me three, four years to get over him. Like, I can’t allow myself to fall in love again until it’s safe.”[11]
