Marking both a personal milestone and a bold artistic statement, alt-pop artist d4vd unveils his new single “What Are You Waiting For,” released on his 20th birthday via Darkroom/Interscope. The song arrives as the latest preview of his highly anticipated debut album WITHERED, due out April 25.

“What Are You Waiting For” is a high-voltage declaration, bursting with rapid-fire guitar riffs and a bassline that mimics the adrenaline of longing. At its core, the track captures the ache of emotional invisibility—being seen and yet not truly noticed. It’s an urgent anthem for anyone who’s ever felt on the edge of unspoken emotion.

The single follows “Crashing,” a slower, lush collaboration with Kali Uchis released earlier this month, showcasing the emotional spectrum of d4vd’s evolving sound. Together, the two tracks hint at WITHERED’s rich storytelling and sonic ambition.

Already a streaming giant, d4vd’s breakout single “Feel It” draws over 2 million streams daily and is featured in Season 2 of Amazon Prime Video’s Invincible. His earlier EPs, Petals to Thorns and The Lost Petals, established his poetic lyricism and distinctive alt-pop identity.

WITHERED continues that journey—an album designed to be heard in sequence, charting the rise and fall of love through the metaphor of a rose’s life cycle. Each track is a chapter, each lyric a revelation.

“What Are You Waiting For” introduces a new decade for d4vd—one defined by urgency, growth, and bold self-expression.
