"Die on This Hill" is a single by British singer Sienna Spiro, released on 10 October 2025. Produced by Omer Fedi, Michael Pollack and Blake Slatkin, it is considered her breakout hit.

Background

Sienna Spiro came up with the first verse of the song while trying to learn to play "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen on the piano. The next day, she finished writing the song in a session with Omer Fedi and Michael Pollack. They then worked on recording the song for months; at one point, the song was even developed into a "completely different genre". It was eventually completed with the help of Blake Slatkin.

Spiro stated that the song has been a "constant theme" throughout her life, adding "I didn't write it about one specific story, more rather about a lifetime of stubbornness and showing up for people that never did for me". She has also said that the title's phrase reminds her of herself, with respect to her loyalty. ^[1]

Composition

The song is built around piano lines, ^[2] performed by Pollack, ^[3] and features a string arrangement from Rob Moose. ^{[1] [3]} Sienna Spiro described the song to be about "stubborn love", in which an individual stays in a relationship when they know they should leave. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Critical reception

Colin of TuneFountain gave a positive review, writing "Her voice carries every ounce of longing and determination in the lyrics, immersing listeners in a story of attachment, denial and hope. The production is both cinematic and intimate, surrounding her vocal with space and texture that magnify its emotional weight". In regard to the theme of the song, he commented "That sense of conflict runs through every chord, balancing fragility with defiance. The result is a piece that feels raw yet refined, an anthem for anyone who has ever struggled to let go". ^[2] Vincent Lane of The Garnette Report remarked "In a stunning display of her extraordinary vocal prowess, Sienna balances the song's unbridled emotion with an exquisite command of her instrument, channeling both aching desperation and fierce determination with equal intensity. As Moose's string arrangement envelops the song in a spellbinding grandeur, 'Die On This Hill' achieves a particularly powerful impact at its chorus: 'You'd take my life/Just for the thrill/I'll take tonight/And die on this hill'. The result: an epic heartbreak tale in just three and a half minutes". ^[3]
