Home » Dean Lewis announces The Epilogue Deluxe & Single ‘I Hate That It’s True’

Global hitmaker Dean Lewis has officially announced The Epilogue (Deluxe) — a revamped version of his emotional third studio album — set to release on Friday, July 11th, 2025. With five new tracks, including the new single ” I Hate That It’s True”, the deluxe edition is a gift to fans hungry for more of Dean’s signature raw honesty and soaring melodies.

The album will be available across all DSPs and as a limited edition 2LP vinyl (collectors, assemble!). The deluxe drop includes brand new songs like ‘I Hate That It’s True’, which Dean wrote a mere 10 weeks ago in an Airbnb in Bondi Beach. The track was fast-tracked from pen to production in just 48 hours — a rare move in the music industry — and added to the album at the very last minute.

The song strips things back — it’s intimate, guitar-driven, and emotionally exposed, leaning into a sound that longtime fans will recognize from his earlier hits like “Be Alright”, but with an even more vulnerable edge. It’s not just another sad love song — it’s a real-time heartbreak, still raw around the edges.

And honestly? It’s that kind of unfiltered storytelling that makes Dean Lewis such a standout voice in the pop scene. Whether it’s heartbreak, hope, or the quiet in between, “I Hate That It’s True” is the kind of song that lingers — on playlists, in hearts, and maybe in your late-night overthinking sessions

“I wrote ‘I Hate That It’s True’ about 10 weeks ago… For me, the song is a hint at what’s to come on my next album — more acoustic, more raw,” Dean shared.

New Tracks on The Epilogue (Deluxe):

  • With You
  • I Hate That It’s True
  • Truth
  • Hurt So Bad
  • Iris

These join fan-favorite originals like ‘Trust Me Mate’, ‘Memories’, ‘Empire’, and ‘All I Ever Wanted’, which have already racked up over 420 million global streams and dominated playlists from Hot Hits Australia to Spotify’s Global NMF.

Dean’s rise continues internationally — with the original The Epilogue album debuting at #10 on the Spotify Global Chart, and making waves across Europe and the US. Whether it’s a moody ballad or an acoustic tearjerker, Lewis knows how to strike a chord.

The Epilogue (Deluxe) is more than an album — it’s a diary in motion. And with new tracks that hint at the emotional evolution of Dean’s next era, fans are in for a beautifully heartbreaking ride.
