Toronto-based singer-songwriter Amy Pinkus isn’t just releasing music—she’s telling stories that wrap around your heart and won’t let go. Her latest original single, “A Bit Too Late,” is one of those songs that feels like reading a page torn out of someone’s journal—raw, poetic, and painfully honest in the best way.
Co-written and produced by Nick Babcock (who also happens to be her now-fiancé), the track leans into emotional intimacy with effortless grace. If you're into artists like Rosie Darling, you’ll immediately feel at home here. Amy’s voice—soft yet commanding—carries a signature warmth that sets her apart, drawing you into a very personal moment between love and limbo.
“A Bit Too Late” tells the story of almosts and maybes, of two people hovering on the edge of something real but not quite ready to take the leap. It’s inspired by Amy’s own relationship with Nick, back when they hadn’t yet committed but were undeniably connected. That in-between space—the ache of loving someone who might not be ready—is where the song lives and breathes.
Amy lets us into the messiness of human emotion with a kind of understated confidence that feels refreshing in an age of over-produced perfection. There’s a softness in her delivery that feels like a secret, like something you’re lucky to be let in on. And when that chorus hits? Don’t be surprised if you’re humming it for days. It’s deceptively catchy, but never in a manufactured way—it just sticks because it matters.

The fact that this song was recorded in Nick’s home studio makes it feel even more intimate. It’s not polished to the point of sterility. It breathes. There’s space for every note to land, every word to matter.
What’s especially cool about this release is the sense of growth it represents for Amy. As she explains, this was the first time she didn’t let her insecurities shrink the melody or simplify the structure. She leaned into what the song needed—and you can hear that creative bravery in every line.
If you’ve ever found yourself caught in a moment of emotional crossroads—torn between walking away or leaning in—“A Bit Too Late” is going to hit you right in the chest. It’s the kind of song that plays when you're staring out a rainy window or sitting quietly with your thoughts at 2am.
Amy Pinkus is clearly an artist on the rise, and if this single is any indication, she’s only just getting started.
