Dublin-based singer-songwriter Lex Bucha is gearing up for the release of “Now You Know,” his second single under his own name, set to drop on January 9, 2025. After years of writing for and collaborating with other artists, Lex is stepping into the spotlight with a track that reflects his own journey of self-discovery and emotional healing.
Before “Now You Know,” Lex gained recognition in 2024 with his collaboration alongside Orla Monelle, a track that made waves on Irish playlists like New Irish Songs and Made in Ireland, and earned airplay on BBC Introducing. These milestones marked a turning point in Lex’s career—after years of supporting other artists behind the scenes, he’s now putting himself first, sharing his personal stories and experiences through his own music.
His sophomore release “Now You Know” is a heartfelt electro-pop ballad, capturing the emotional complexity of facing a loved one who has caused past pain. The song navigates themes of reconciliation, self-healing, and finding peace within yourself after unresolved conflict. With its evocative melodies and introspective lyrics, the track reflects Lex’s ability to connect through raw honesty and authenticity.
On the song, Lex says:
“Now You Know is about a specific moment in my life where a person who had consistently let me down throughout my life, actually showed up and was there for me.”
Influenced by electro-pop and artists like Annie Lennox, Troye Sivan, and Hurts, Lex’s sound combines emotive songwriting with atmospheric production. The single was written alongside Alex Yardley and Sarah Keane, marking another step in his growing creative partnership with fellow songwriters.
“Now You Know” is just the beginning of what promises to be a busy year for Lex. 2025 will see more releases from the Dublin-based artist, as he continues to carve out a unique space for himself in the music world.
