Norway's Marie Ulven, who records as Girl in Red, has followed up 2018 platinum-selling global hit, "We Fell in Love in October," with an autumnal sequel, "October Passed Me By."

The new song, underpinned by acoustic guitar and a hazy gust of a chorus, is produced by The National's Aaron Dessner. Ulven met Dessner in the fall of 2021, described her vision of the track to him, and worked remotely with him on the song (along with Ulven's friend, mixer Matias Tellez) from Oslo and Los Angeles.
