miaw's new single, “Want Something,” is the final puzzle piece leading up to their much-anticipated debut EP, My Petswan, out on November 22

If you haven’t discovered miaw yet, let us bring you up to speed. Known for their love of fast-paced sampled drums, chopped-up vocals, and dreamy, otherworldly synths, the duo crafts music that sits firmly at the crossroads of pop and club culture. Their tracks are progressive, experimental, and irresistibly catchy, seamlessly blending emotional narratives with high-energy production. With their new single, released via Copenhagen’s eclectic label Petrola 80, the cross-pop duo redefines the concept ofclassic love song with a bold, unexpected twist.

As “Want Something” unfolds, its eclectic and experimental production reveals some depth.

The track was born one cold, bright December on the Danish seaside—the very start of miaw’s journey as a duo. Despite its melancholic themes, “Want Something” has become a standout favorite at live shows, and it is easy to understand why. With playful vocal samples, a car-crash sound that jolts listeners at a pivotal moment, and a dreamy tempo slowdown that melts into calm reflection, “Want Something” isn’t just a song—it’s a testament to the duo’s innovative and distinctive approach to music.
