With “Hopeful,” Saint Jude steps into unfamiliar territory: optimism. Written on New Year’s Eve alongside Taxi for Kaye, the song emerged naturally — voices layered into one, lyrics flowing without overthinking. What surprised both artists was the tone: luminous, bright, and full of possibility. “It’s definitely one of the most optimistic songs I’ve ever written,” Jude reflects. A rare moment of uplift, “Hopeful” invites the listener to project their own meaning and embrace its warmth.
