'Late Day Sun' - New Single From Becca Caffyn Out Now
Indie-folk singer/songwriter Becca Caffyn returns with delicate new track ‘Late Day Sun’.
Co-written in 2022 with Edward Liu (EDY) and Christian Tjandrawinata, ‘Late Day Sun’ ruminates on feelings of disillusionment and nostalgia, wrestling with an overwhelming fear of ‘getting left behind’.

Her first single following the release of 2024 EP ‘Hallways’, the track speaks to growing up and growing into yourself; working to discover the life you want to create while feeling as though the world is running laps around you. Written in the months leading up to Caffyn’s twentieth birthday, ‘Late Day Sun’ is about feeling like, instead of everything you hoped to do and all you aspired to be, all you’ve done is get older, and all you are is 20.
Doused in silky piano and rubber-bridge guitar, the track takes sonic inspiration from the likes of Phoebe Bridgers and Lizzy McAlpine.
‘Late Day Sun’ was produced, mixed, and mastered by Christian Tjandrawinata, recorded between Parachute Music’s Studio A and Christian’s home studio and coming together over a number of years.
With each passing year the single has only become more relatable to both Caffyn and her loyal live audience; its honesty and vulnerability cementing the track as a crowd favourite in live settings.
This track was made with the support of NZ On Air, and is included in the December NewTracks compilation.
