It is the first single following 'Long Fall', which was added to spot rotation on triple j and shortlisted her as one of six finalists chosen from more than 1000 high school acts in triple j's Unearthed High competition.

The 19 year old Killarney singer-songwriter said the single is a kind of homage to friendship and its cathartic powers.

"This song is about checking in on all your friends and not letting them deal with things alone," she said.

"A friend had asked me to send her a text when I got home safe and it got me thinking about how powerful friendship has been in my life and how much I value it.

"We all want our friends to succeed and would do anything to help them, so it can be hard to watch them go through hard times."

'When You Get Home' was recorded and produced by John Castle, who has worked with the likes of Vance Joy, Thelma Plum and Angie McMahon.

They laid the track down at his Melbourne studio in just two days.

"I wrote the song towards the end of last year and have been playing it live heaps, it's a really fun song to play," she said.

"John was lovely to work with, we were both on the same page from the moment I stepped into the studio.

"We shared such a strong vision and worked really easily together."

The teen brings a confident live show honed from over six years of tirelessly performing on stages, cutting her teeth at pub gigs while being too young to buy a drink at the bar.

Around the time of her final exams at Warrnambool College, she supported the likes of Ball Park Music, Jack River, Tia Gostelow and Gretta Ray.

She has also performed at triple j's Live At The Steps 2017, St Kilda Festival and Queenscliff Music Festival.

In bittersweet news, the headline show at The Loft in Warrnambool on Friday June 7 will be one of the last shows at the venue.

"The Loft has been so important, I played there first when I was 13 and for a pub to let a 13 year old girl play a set and be so welcoming was so amazing and so important for my growth and confidence," she said.

"Folkie has also played an important part, I've been going there every year since I was eight years old and got to play there the same year Tash Sultana played.

"The support from the community and the committee has been great."

Nancie will also be playing her first band show in Melbourne at the Wesley Anne on Friday June 21st. Tickets for both shows are on sale now.
