The Beths have released the official music video for “Til My Heart Stops,” the title track from their 2025 album Straight Line Was A Lie. The video premiered on YouTube in late August 2025, coinciding with the album’s release date of August 29, 2025, as confirmed by the video’s upload metadata and label information.
Directed by the band’s longtime collaborator, the visual accompaniment to “Til My Heart Stops” features the Novel Zealand indie pop group performing in a series of intimate, lo-fi settings that mirror the song’s introspective lyrics. The track, written by lead vocalist and guitarist Elizabeth Stokes, explores themes of emotional vulnerability and the quiet persistence of affection despite uncertainty—a hallmark of the band’s songwriting style evident throughout Straight Line Was A Lie.
The Beths, formed in Auckland in 2014, consist of Elizabeth Stokes (vocals, guitar), Jonathan Pearce (guitar, vocals), Benjamin Sinclair (bass, vocals), and Tristan Deck (drums). Their third studio album, Straight Line Was A Lie, was released through Epitaph Records and Anti-, continuing their partnership with the labels that released their previous albums Future Me Hates Me (2018) and Expert in a Dying Field (2021).
Upon its release, Straight Line Was A Lie received positive reviews from music critics, with publications noting the band’s refined sound and Stokes’ increasingly nuanced lyricism. The album debuted on several international alternative and indie charts, reflecting the group’s growing global audience following extensive touring in North America, Europe, and Australasia in support of their prior work.
The music video for “Til My Heart Stops” was uploaded to The Beths’ official YouTube channel on August 28, 2025, one day before the album’s official release. As of April 2026, the video has garnered hundreds of thousands of views, contributing to the ongoing promotion of the album in digital streaming platforms and social media channels where the band maintains an active presence.
Fans and critics alike have highlighted the video’s understated aesthetic as a fitting visual extension of the song’s mood—avoiding elaborate narratives in favor of candid performance footage and atmospheric lighting that emphasizes the emotional resonance of Stokes’ vocal delivery. The production aligns with the band’s previous visual work, which often prioritizes authenticity and musical intimacy over stylized spectacle.
The Beths continue to support Straight Line Was A Lie with select live appearances and festival slots announced for 2026, though no full world tour has been officially confirmed as of April 16, 2026. Updates on future performances and potential new music are typically shared through the band’s official website and social media accounts, which are verified via their Epitaph Records artist page.
For listeners interested in exploring the album further, Straight Line Was A Lie remains available on major streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music, as well as for purchase in physical and digital formats through independent record retailers and the band’s official store.
The release of the “Til My Heart Stops” music video marks another milestone in The Beths’ steady evolution as one of indie rock’s most consistently compelling acts, blending melodic precision with lyrical honesty in a manner that has earned them a dedicated international following over the past decade.
