The sweetness cracked. That’s what matters here. Maisie Peters traded dissecting heartbreak for something messier: possession as devotion, territorial affection spun into Nashville-polished country pop.
Released February 6, 2026, “My Regards” doesn’t apologise for the jealousy, doesn’t soften the impulse to guard what’s yours.
Instead, Peters weaponises it, turning protective instinct into power move, complete with a Kevin Costner wink that lands somewhere between self-aware and unhinged.
The track leans into warm, textured country production that Peters co-crafted with Ian Fitchuk during Nashville sessions for forthcoming album Florescence.
It’s her first time stepping into co-production territory, and you can hear it in the confidence, the way the arrangement bends around her voice.
The verses ripple with restraint before the chorus blooms into something glossier, more arena-ready, but still rooted in the indie-pop instinct that built her reputation.
Peters has always written sharp, but here she’s writing territorial. “Now my address is his mattress in his bedroom” isn’t metaphor, it’s relocation.
The whole song operates in romantic devotion that’s actually claiming, where love becomes guardianship. She’s not standing by her man. She’s standing in front of him, daring anyone else to try.
The track deliberately inverts the country trope Peters cited as inspiration. Where classic “stand by your man” songs positioned women as passive supporters, “My Regards” reframes the entire dynamic.
She’s the bodyguard, the protector, the one issuing warnings from his bedroom. The possessiveness isn’t weakness performed for sympathy, it’s strategy.
Peters knows how this sounds. The bridge’s casual aside about her phone not working in his bedroom plays like she’s aware of the ridiculousness, the way obsessive love rewrites logic.
But she commits anyway, because the feeling is real even when the framing tips into absurd. That tension between self-awareness and total immersion is where Peters operates best.
What’s really happening beneath the possessive lyrics and polished country sheen is Peters working through what it means when love feels secure instead of chaotic.
