22 MAY 2026 (TORONTO, ON) – Multi-platinum pop artist Preston Pablo releases the uplifting new song, “Dive” out today via 31 East and Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. The new single is about the beginning of something beautiful. It’s that moment where you give in to the impulsiveness and ‘dive in.’

“This song lets you hear what that first ‘dive’ would sound like,” says Preston, “It’s all you can think about, and it’s starting to take up a lot of space in your brain. That’s what this song is about. That moment before you go all in. You’re not thinking of the repercussions. Your guard is all the way down, and you’re only listening to your heart.”

Also announced today, is the release of Preston’s new EP, Almost Always, out on July 3. The forthcoming EP is set to include previously released singles, “Cause I Do” and “Selfish” as he ushers in the new era of Preston Pablo and sets the tone for 2026 and the excitement to come.

Sonically, “Dive” is like one long crescendo. It starts off pretty stripped back with piano and drums, and slowly builds from there until the end where the climax hits. The production is at full force, the vocals are loud and in your face, and there are lots of them. It’s happening all at once.

“Dive” follows the latest confidence boosting track, “Selfish” and previous release, “Cause I Do.” The tracks marked Preston’s first offering of new music since his 2024 debut EP Anywhere But Here, home to the viral hit “Dance Alone.”

Preston Pablo is best known for his chart-topping single “Flowers Need Rain,” which earned him the 2023 JUNO Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year and was the #1 most Shazamed song of Summer 2022 in Canada. His follow-up smash “Dance Alone” cracked the Top 10 at Canadian radio across all formats and has since inspired over 450,000 user-generated TikTok videos, further cementing his reputation as one of Canada’s most compelling pop voices.

With “Dive” Preston Pablo continues to take a confident step forward, offering a taste of the new sound and creative direction he’ll continue to unveil throughout 2026. Preston also recently announced a number of live dates in Ontario including London, Markham and Thunder Bay (see dates below).
