Get ready for a new wave of emotional indie-pop from yaeow, the rising Swedish sensation! His brand-new single, what if… (dancing alone), is set to drop on January 9, 2025, and it’s one track you won’t want to miss. This song is a heartfelt blend of introspective lyrics and smooth, soul-infused RnB pop, making it the perfect tune for those late-night thought sessions when you wonder, “What if things had turned out differently?”
In a video message, yaeow shared what the song is all about: “It’s a scary thought to imagine what life would be like if I never met certain people. This track explores that idea, and it brought out a new, fresh sound for me.” The song dives deep into those “what if” moments we all have, when we wonder how our lives would be different if we made different choices.
If yaeow’s name isn’t already on your radar, it should be. He’s been steadily building a massive following with songs that connect on a personal level. His previous track, favourite lesson, which he co-wrote with 20-year-old Australian artist Keenan Te, went viral and racked up over 20 million streams. It’s clear that yaeow knows how to write music that resonates with listeners.
The upcoming track is part of his highly anticipated debut album, set to release in February 2025, and it promises to showcase more of the introspective and genre-blending style yaeow is known for. If this single is any indication, the album is going to be full of soulful melodies and relatable lyrics.
Adding to the excitement, yaeow is returning to Southeast Asia, where he recently sold out shows across the region with Indonesian artist Lullaboy. And now, yaeow’s heading to Manila for a one-off show on January 25, 2025, at Teatrino Promenade. This is your chance to catch him live and experience the magic of his music in person!
Whether you’ve been a fan since his first track in 2020 or you’re just discovering him now, yaeow is definitely an artist to keep an eye on in 2025. Get ready for more music, more shows, and more heartfelt moments from one of the most exciting rising stars in pop.
