“This song is about that moment when things have gone too far, and you know it’s about to go west — whether on a night out or in the world at large. The moody Memphis-to-jungle beat captures that feeling creeping up on you.”

“If you get really good at telling the story of who you are, you become the story you told. I began asking: What’s the point of it?”

“‘Run River Run’ is about bypassing self-doubt and the art of resilience, inspired by the master himself, Bruce Lee. It’s about moving with life’s challenges rather than fighting them head-on—and sometimes looking back just to see how far I’ve come.”

“After five band records, I’ve opened my treasure chest of personal storytelling songs that I’ve built up over a decade. I recorded these songs as they are — simple, imperfect, and all my own — inspired by timeless folk acoustic albums.”

“My Girl is about wanting someone you know you can’t have, but still not being able to let go of the ‘what if’. It’s about being unafraid to love loudly even if there are consequences. It’s very special to me because it’s a part of my identity that I’ve never shared before.”

“Lemonade was born out of my hot-and-cold relationship with romance and intimacy. I felt weak relying on validation because it was the closest thing to love I could find—classic uni experience.”

“I wrote [Fight Back] to feel like a five-minute panic attack, a reflection of doing it scared, even when you feel inadequate.”

Pop singer-songwriter Rachel Grae returns with her latest single, Safe With Me. The track explores the emotional toll of people-pleasing, capturing the struggle of sacrificing oneself for the sake of others.

“As wxmen, we’re taught to carry shame for things that are simply human—desire, detachment, choosing ourselves. These songs are about normalizing those experiences and letting go of that inner guilt. They hold space for that emotional complexity and say, ‘It’s okay—you’re allowed to feel this.’”

“It’s for my friends who carried me. It’s about being accepted as queer, non-binary, and neurodivergent — and loving without judgment.”

“‘sportscar’ is an interesting addition to the deluxe because spittake almost had a different identity. At one point, I considered naming the album Check Engine Light On. I didn’t realize how central the theme of cars was until after writing it.”

“This is the most emotional project I’ve ever made. It holds my new grief, my longing, and all the tiny moments that pulled me through.”

Described as a love letter never sent, Call Me is raw and intimate, built on airy vocals and minimal, dreamy production. Anchored by the haunting line, “maybe someday I’ll love and he won’t have your face,” the song captures the ache of lingering love and the quiet hope of moving on.

“It had been so long since I’d felt that way. I romanticised everything — which I think is necessary to cope with the distance. We’re in different countries, speaking different languages, but we still share this bond.”

“I didn’t intend for something so intimate to become a song, but songs have a funny way of finding you and giving you language for the things you didn’t know you needed to name.”

“It’s about that moment when you’re not sure if your crush feels the same. You want to leave the party, but then they arrive, and suddenly you could stay all night.”

“Teenage Disillusionment is a pretty sensitive song. I’m in a good place now, and it felt like the right time to speak on my past. I’m passionate about advocating for kids who aren’t safe at home, and I want anyone who relates to the lyrics to know they’re not alone.”

“Everything I write is unfortunately a little too true to life. I’d met this girl in a smoking area, swore off love for 14 months, hadn’t kissed anyone—but couldn’t stay away. I tried a ‘situationship’ for two weeks (what even is that?). I hated it. I would’ve followed her into hell. Joyride is me saying, I’m all in, please don’t hurt me.”

Slick, sultry, and no longer decoding mixed signals, Ron Dadon is done with ambiguity. On her bold new single “Say It,” she confronts the men who can’t decide if they want real love—or just the illusion of it.
