FOR PRESS // PROMOTION
INANA is back with the dancy pop anthem “Wounded Lover” – soulful, honest and catchy!
INANA opens a new chapter with her new single “Wounded Lover”: more direct and catchy than ever before, the Austrian artist shows her pop side here – without losing any of her depth. “Wounded Lover” is an energetic pop song with a chorus that immediately catches the ear.
“I, I, I… I wanna hold you close – I wanna inhale you” – this hook is made for the repeat button. Between dancy beats and honest emotionality, INANA unfolds a story about longing, transformation and the power of being vulnerable.
The song combines catchy melodies with personal storytelling: from the inner struggle with oneself to the euphoria of genuine closeness – “Wounded Lover” is a track that moves, but also carries you away. A song to bounce along to and for the heart.
INANA proves once again that pop doesn’t have to be superficial – it can go deep while inviting you to dance.
Release: FR, 06.06.2025
INANA’s main characteristic is her delicate yet strong voice, which meets contemporary, urban beats and is perfectly rounded off with dreamy melodies. She is one of the representatives of a new, female-fronted music scene in Vienna that produces its music predominantly with women or flinta*s. “Wounded Lover” was realized by composer and producer Iva Zabkar, who recently received international awards for her work. Both are part of the Beatzarilla label, which is committed to promoting women and FLINTA* in the Austrian music industry.
While INANA’s first single was about first-time motherhood and her second single was about being good and enough as you are, her current single is about being able to be vulnerable.
“Wounded Lover” is a dancy, emotionally charged pop song with a catchy tune guarantee. The catchy hook (“I wanna hold you close – I wanna inhale you”) meets honest lyrics about longing, transformation and the power of being vulnerable. More pop than ever before, INANA remains profound – a track to bounce and feel along to..

INANA – Wounded Lover
VERSE 1
I need you more than you need me
oh I need you more than you need me
the more I try to change,
the more I stay the same
the more I try to change,
the more I stay the same
CHORUS
I, I, I.. I wanna hold you close
oh I, I, I.. I wanna inhale you
VERSE 2
Give me strength to accept the things
I can and the
wisdom to change the things I can
and the power to know the difference oh
and the power to change
CHORUS
I, I, I.. I wanna hold you close
oh I, I, I.. I wanna inhale you
BRIDGE
I wanna show you
hidden parts of me
inhale you
is it prosperity or is it destiny
or is it just you another me
I never thought I could see
this side of me
or live in the light, the guidance, shining
through our darkest fear
or be the atmosphere around
surrounding, now we’re
taking off
CHORUS
I, I, I.. I wanna hold you close (wanna hold you close
oh I, I, I.. I wanna inhale you (wanna inhale you)
be the one to hold you in the night
be the one to show you your guidance
be the one to hold you in the night
be the one, be the one, be the one now
