d4vd shares emotionally charged single “What Are You Waiting For” ahead of debut album WITHERED.
Global alt-pop artist d4vd continues to evolve with the release of his new single “What Are You Waiting For,” out now via Darkroom/Interscope. The track arrives just ahead of his debut album WITHERED, due April 25, and marks an important creative step in the rising artist’s journey.
Driven by a pounding bassline and racing guitar riffs, “What Are You Waiting For” reflects the tension and heartache of feeling unseen by someone you care about. It’s a song rooted in emotional honesty and brimming with urgency—a defining moment for d4vd as he transitions into a new chapter, released fittingly on his 20th birthday.
The single follows his recent collaboration with Kali Uchis on “Crashing,” a silky, slower-tempo release that offered a more reflective tone. Both tracks represent distinct sides of WITHERED, a deeply personal project that builds on the emotional groundwork of his first two EPs, Petals to Thorns and The Lost Petals. 
“Feel It,” d4vd’s breakout single, continues to dominate streaming charts and features in Season 2 of Prime Video’s Invincible, drawing over 2 million streams daily. These milestones point to a rising artist with both mass appeal and a strong artistic identity.
WITHERED tells a larger story—the life cycle of a rose as a metaphor for the arc of a relationship. Meant to be played front to back, it unfolds like a novel: tender, torn, and timeless.
With “What Are You Waiting For,” d4vd proves he’s not just capturing attention—he’s keeping it.
