Rae Leigh | New Single | 1 July 2026

Welcome to the private media room for Rae Leigh’s new single, “Living For Today.”

This page has been created for approved media, radio, music-industry professionals, festival programmers, music supervisors and collaborators.

The Story

Written alone in Nashville in 2023 after several planned co-writing sessions were cancelled, “Living For Today” is a stripped-back acoustic-country song about releasing comparison, living one day at a time and finding hope in the present.

The song later inspired an award-winning Australian short film, original artwork by Melbourne artist Hope Corrigan, two tattoos worn by Tasmanian listener Jason Dwyer and a limited-edition clothing range carrying its message.

“Living For Today” is more than a song—it is a reminder to keep going.

Approved Quote
