With her addictive, high-energy glitch-pop sound and irresistible Y2K aesthetic, rising artist LOVELI LORI has our full attention, and 2026 is gearing up to be her biggest year yet.
Chances are that you know the star best from her breakout hit “Love For You,” which has been streamed more than 200 million times to date. This summer, she’ll be dropping a debut project showcasing the evolution of the playful, technicolor hyperpop vision she’s been curating, and we just got another taste last week with the release of her new single, “Lost My Heart.” The track has a vibrant, shimmery sound as the artist explores the pain lingering from a broken heart, discovering her worth along the way and coming out stronger on the other side. We got the chance to ask LOVELI LORI our most burning questions about the song and what’s next in the interview below.
Sweety High: What’s the story behind “Lost My Heart”? What inspired the track?
LOVELI LORI: “Lost My Heart” was written in a time where I was struggling with expressing my anger and frustration in past relationships. Whenever I had a hard time overcoming these feelings, writing songs was the only way out. Apart from my songs like “MAD” where I was more direct with my anger, “Lost My Heart” dives more into the resentment I had lingering in my life, driving me to make a track based on the feelings I couldn’t seem to escape.
SH: What does the song mean to you, and what do you hope it will mean to your listeners?
LL: This song resonates with me so much, as it tells the process it took for me to realize my worth, and how I am much more than what people told me I was. I hope that my listeners, especially those who are currently struggling with self-doubt, can understand they are worth so much, and to not let anyone tell them otherwise.

SH: What’s your favorite lyric from the song? Why?
LL: “I don’t think you understand I’m more than what you think I am.” This lyric is everything to me in this song, because it’s the moment I realized my true self worth. People who are supposed to be there to help you grow only end up manipulating and controlling you, limiting your success out of jealousy and fear.
SH: How would you describe the song’s sound? What kind of energy do you think it captures that encapsulates what the track is all about?
LL: The song’s sound is all about feeling free, finally feeling like you have control and making it known aggressively. The song captures the feeling of resentment built up over time, and finally snapping.
SH: What can you tell us about your upcoming debut project? Where does “Lost My Heart” fit into its wider narrative?
LL: My upcoming debut project reflects a lot on the hardship I’ve been through the past year. Each song represents each phase of feelings I’ve experienced during those times, a story line of my emotions. “Lost My Heart” is the near end to this story. It’s the outcome of being treated unfairly overtime, losing your heart in the process. Not only did I lose my heart, I stopped caring what others think and took it into my own hands to make it known that I’m worthy.

SH: What else can you tease about what’s next for you?
LL: Everything I do is on purpose, nothing is done by accident. My concept It may be confusing for some now, but all of it connects together, and people will see that.

SH: Is there anything else your fans should know about you or “Lost My Heart” at the moment?
LL: I hope my fans know that I’m consistently working on music and new projects purely for them. There’s so many cool things coming and I’m so excited to show my fans in the near future what I’ve been planning just for them.
