Music has been at the centre of Annabelle Tiffin's life for almost as long as she can remember. Now sixteen, the singer-songwriter continues to develop a voice shaped by movement, observation, and the experience of growing up between cultures. On Daffodils, she channels those influences into a tender indie-pop ballad that reflects on self-worth, connection, and the people who help us understand ourselves more clearly.
Built around piano, strings, and her distinctive alto voice, the track captures a familiar feeling: being young and not quite knowing where you belong. Daffodils lingers in that uncertainty, exploring the moments when confidence feels fragile, and guidance comes from someone willing to see potential where we can’t. “Sometimes, self-love doesn’t bloom on its own. Sometimes it needs someone else to plant the seed,” Tiffin explains.
Born in Hong Kong to an Australian father and a Taiwanese mother, Tiffin has lived between Singapore, Australia, the United States, and Taiwan. She began writing songs during the pandemic after discovering a creative outlet that quickly became a central part of her life. Those experiences continue to inform her work, which often feels reflective without losing sight of the immediacy of youth.
Reflecting on the release, Tiffin shared that she actually wrote Daffodils before Currents, which was released earlier this year. “I absolutely love this one,” she said, describing it as one of the first songs she produced alongside Julian Feifel. Knowing that context makes the track feel even more revealing, offering a glimpse into an earlier chapter of her creative development.
