PRESS RELEASE: New Single “Toxic Teddy Bear” By Hannah Stow Exposes the Sweetest Kind of Manipulation

Latest Press Release

Out August 8, 2025 | Co- Produced by Josh King & by Liam Quinn New Single “Toxic Teddy Bear” Exposes the Sweetest Kind of Manipulation Perth, Australia – July 10, 2025 — Indie-pop newcomer Hannah Stow drops a hauntingly catchy new single, Toxic Teddy Bear, a brutally honest anthem about masking toxic behavior behind the soft blanket of self-improvement.

Written in Sydney alongside powerhouse collaborators Josh King, Jess Humphries, and ARIA-nominated producer Liam Quinn, Toxic Teddy Bear is a self-aware confession wrapped in glossy hooks and dark-pop production. With its clever lyricism and melancholic groove, the track explores the idea of using therapy-speak and “growth” narratives to excuse toxic patterns — while still being the problem.

“It’s about weaponizing softness, ” Hannah Stow says.

“You can say all the right things, act like you’ve done the work — but no amount of self help podcasts or books will hide actions that are clear as day. This song holds a mirror to that.”

With hypnotic guitar riffs, layered harmonies, and lyrics that teeter between vulnerability and manipulation, Toxic Teddy Bear is both an emotional gut-punch and a tongue-in-cheek
take on modern accountability culture.

“Toxic Teddy Bear” is available on all streaming platforms 8th August. Following a string of well-received releases this year, Hannah is set to perform at Perth’s Milk Bar on August 8, and will open for AVIVA this October, further solidifying her growing presence in the Indie-pop scene.
