Secret Rule releases “Lost in Paradise” today, December 23rd, 2025, on all digital platforms, accompanied by an official music video. The song represents the final release of 2025, taken from the band’s tenth studio album “X“, available since October 24th.
After a series of singles focused on inner conflict and resistance, “Lost in Paradise” shifts the emotional perspective inward. The track unfolds as a melancholic modern metal ballad, centered on the quiet realization that something once deeply familiar has been lost and on the strength required to face that absence without surrender.
Rather than dwelling in regret, the song channels loss into awareness and resolve. Its lyrics reflect on memory, distance, and emotional disconnection, capturing the fragile space between what was and what still deserves to be fought for. This tension is mirrored in the song’s progression, where restrained atmospheres gradually expand into a powerful emotional peak.
Musically, “Lost in Paradise” blends heavy yet controlled guitar work with layered arrangements and an expressive vocal interplay. The track features a triple-vocal performance by Angela Di Vincenzo, Andy Menario, and special guest Marco Pastorino, whose contribution adds a distinctive tonal depth and amplifies the song’s emotional impact without overpowering its intimate core.
“‘Lost in Paradise’ digs into the pain of irreplaceable loss but transforms it into a form of defiant hope,” explains vocalist Angela Di Vincenzo.
Producer and guitarist Andy Menario adds: “This ballad allowed us to explore vulnerability in a very direct way, letting emotion guide both the arrangement and the performance. Marco’s voice gave the song an extra layer of intensity.”
Produced, arranged, mixed, and mastered by Andy Menario, the single once again reflects Secret Rule’s fully independent creative approach. Within the broader narrative of “X“, “Lost in Paradise” stands as one of the album’s most introspective chapters, emphasizing emotional clarity over confrontation.
With this release, Secret Rule closes 2025 by reaffirming their ability to evolve through nuance as much as power, offering a song that speaks quietly but resonates deeply.
