FOLLOWING EXPLOSIVE PERFORMANCE AT THE GAME AWARDS 2024
19-year-old artist d4vd unleashes an emotional new single, “Where’d It Go Wrong?” The release marks the start of a new era for the genre-bending musician.
d4vd’s “Where’d It Go Wrong?” hits hard with a brutally honest look at love’s fragile nature and the deep sense of confusion that comes when things fall apart. The track is drenched in emotional turmoil, capturing the messy aftermath of realizing something that once felt perfect has completely fallen apart.
Musically, the track blends alternative, indie, and R&B influences, with mellow yet haunting instrumentation that mirrors the song’s reflective tone. d4vd’s voice delivers each line with raw intensity, capturing the complexity of the emotions at play. The resulting sound is both minimalistic and powerful, allowing the emotional weight of the lyrics to resonate.
The track was crafted by d4vd using just BandLab and his iPhone, in the closet of his childhood home in Houston. “Where’d It Go Wrong?” shares its origins with many of d4vd’s multi-platinum hits, including “Romantic Homicide” and “Here With Me”—both of which have surpassed a billion streams.
“I’ve spent the past year recording in LA studios, doing sessions with top producers, and doing writing trips, but for ‘Where’d It Go Wrong?,’ I sat back down at my house in Houston and recorded on Bandlab which I hadn’t been doing much of lately,” d4vd shares. “It really got me back in my element of how I began making music. This is one of my favorite songs that I’ve made in a long time and it reminded me why I’ve always loved making music on my own.”
This song releases on the heels of a mesmerizing performance at The Game Awards 2024 which took place on December 12th at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, and was streamed across dozens of platforms. d4vd sang “Remember Me,” in a medley alongside acts like Twenty One Pilots and Royal & The Serpent, in celebration of Netflix’s Arcane.

d4vd has been busy in 2024. His international headline “My House is Not a Home” Tour saw him play his largest venues to date with stops in Toronto, New York, Washington D.C., Los Angeles (with a third show added and sold-out from high demand), London, Paris, Berlin, Singapore, Seoul, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. He also opened for SZA at Malahide Castle in Dublin, Ireland and graced expansive festival stages at Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, Boston Calling, and Lollapalooza, all coming hot off the heels of an electrifying surprise set in his hometown of Houston at White Oak Music Hall – which sold out minutes upon announcement.
He released a steady stream of singles throughout the year, including the stripped-back, beautifully crafted love song “There Goes My Baby,” the dynamic “Remember Me” of the Emmy-nominated Netflix series Arcane, the funk-riddled, Billboard Hot 100 charting single, “Feel It (From The Original Series Invincible),” and “My House Is Not A Home,” a poignant, alternative ballad of loneliness. The tracks paint a picture of what’s to come in 2025 as he builds momentum toward his highly anticipated debut album.
