Grace Davies (@gracedaviesofficial) is a rising singer-songwriter, musician, and producer from Blackburn, Lancashire. After an 18-month self-imposed lockdown in the studio, she is back and better than ever with her punchy new pop single, “A Wonderful, Boring, Normal Life.” The song contains pop-perfect melodies and whimsical, euphoric synths that highlight Grace’s desire to have an ordinary life in love.
Grace Davies – “A Wonderful, Boring, Normal Life”
Romanticizing the most mundane moments of a relationship, Grace delves into the feeling of being alone (and at peace) while still craving company in the monotonous every day. Co-produced by Grace, the lush string intro lulls you into a false sense of ballad security, before sucker-punching you into an involuntary head nod with a thumping beat.
“A Wonderful, Boring, Normal Life” serves as the first single from a brand-new era and rejuvenation for Grace. The track was written after a challenging few months when she was close to throwing in the towel on her artistic career. She went into the studio with a new writing collaborator (Jon Olav) and a new producer (Paul Whalley) – and ended up creating the track that would kick start a brand new, deeply creative phase.
Grace Davies explains: “This was really the song that saved me from giving up and reminded me why I love, so very much, what I do. When life gets stressful and you feel like you’ve lost your sense of direction, you find yourself craving the mundane and ordinary. Maybe that’s where the concept for this track began; imagining a life where you have your sh*t together, you’re financially secure, and have everything you need but could also picture someone else within that. I think it’s possible to be alone and not lonely but still want to share life and argue over whose turn it is to wash the dishes. It’s not a necessity, you don’t need a fairytale – but it might be nice.”
Grace Davies – “Illuminate (Official Song of the European Athletics Championships, Roma 2024)”
In 2023, Grace was handpicked to write the official song of the European Athletics Championships in Rome. “Illuminate” was released in April 2024, and was heard around the world, being used as an integral part of the EAC’s entire campaign – before, during, and after the championships. The song was played daily in the Olympic Stadium throughout the competition and was used on the European Athletics broadcast coverage live from Rome. The Association invited Grace to Rome to perform at the closing medal ceremony on the final night of the championships.

Grace Davies – “A Wonderful, Boring, Normal Life”
“And then I’d give you a drawer where you could put all your sh*t, and you’d say I’m moving quick for someone scared of commitment. So, I’d swing by your mothers’ for a coffee and cry, and she’d tell me you’ve been this way since you were a child.” – lyrics
