Sam Fischer – ‘A Heart Doesn’t Hurt Itself’

Currently making his way across Australia supporting Guy Sebastian on his 16-date ‘100 Laps Around The Sun’ arena tour, Sam Fischer has today released one of his most honest, goose-bump inducing singles to date in ‘A Heart Doesn’t Hurt Itself’, out as of today.

Sam Fischer had a busy year 12 months – releasing 4 singles (‘Lovelife’, ‘Moonshine’, ‘Conversations We Never Had’ & ‘Sweet Contradiction’) in 2025; touring across the globe with the likes of Brett Young & Alexander Stewart and even having his 2022 single ‘Carry It Well’ covered by Kelly Clarkson.

On his first single for 2026, Fischer’s voice soars in one of his most impressive vocal performances to date on ‘A Heart Doesn’t Hurt Itself’ – a track that carries enormous emotional vulnerability for the Sydney-born singer/songwriter. 

“I blamed myself pretty heavily for the erosion of a relationship I thought was unbreakable. It shattered my self-worth when it ended and it’s taken a few years of reflection to realise that maybe I didn’t do that to myself. I hope that if anyone sees themselves in ‘A Heart Doesn’t Hurt Itself’, they can find the strength to realise that your self-worth should always come from within and never be tied to someone else’s approval of you.” – SAM FISCHER

Co-written with UK artist and acclaimed songwriter Frances, ‘A Heart Doesn’t Hurt Itself’ is a powerful ballad that showcases Fischer’s vocal abilities beautifully, with endless layers of harmony and some breathtaking falsetto moments in the song’s chorus. The track comes at a perfect time, with Sam able to perform it across his tour with Guy Sebastian – currently hitting arenas across Newcastle, Canberra, Brisbane, Townsville, Cairns, Gold Coast, Sydney, Wollongong, Adelaide, Perth, Hobart and Melbourne

Sam’s career has been on the up-and-up since the release of his breakout single ‘The City’ back in 2019, a hit that remained in the UK top 20 for 11 weeks,  earning double-platinum status  in Australia, triple-platinum in the UK and NZ, and Gold  in North American and Switzerland. Since then, the Sydney-born artist has collaborated with the likes of Demi Lovato, Amy Shark, Meghan Trainor and Guy Sebastian; clocking over 2 billion streams along the way.
