CATBEAR make a triumphant return with their new single “It’s Okay”, a radiant blast of electro bedroom pop that glows with self-acceptance, emotional candor, and late-night intimacy. Written, recorded, and produced by Zoe Konez, the track is the final single before the release of the duo’s forthcoming album For Now, For Ever, due out October 24, 2025.

“It’s Okay” serves as a transitional track, both musically and personally,about stepping into the light to claim your truth. Konez’s production blends shimmering synths, crisp percussion, and atmospheric tones that feel euphoric yet grounded. The result is a song that captures both strength and vulnerability, the kind of catharsis that builds slowly before bursting into full bloom.

This is a song for anyone who’s navigated questions of identity, belonging, or self-compassion later in life. It’s reflective, heartwarming, and deeply human — the sonic equivalent of a reassuring hug in the dark. It would sit comfortably on Spotify playlists like Pop Rising, Fresh Finds Pop, or Indie Pop Chillout.

The conversations that inspired “It’s Okay” reflect real-life experiences of queer identity and learning to feel comfortable in your own skin — no matter your age. The song carries the message that there is no expiration date on self-discovery or visibility. Growth is continuous, and embracing yourself is a lifelong journey.

Beyond the single, CATBEAR are entering their boldest era yet. Their upcoming album For Now, For Ever will be released on vinyl, CD, and cassette — the duo’s first physical formats, underscoring their commitment to independence, creativity, and community.

With “It’s Okay,” CATBEAR deliver a message of love, pride, and survival — wrapped in glowing synths and dreamlike production. In their electro-pop world, we’re reminded that it’s okay to grow, to breathe, and to fully exist as who we are.
