Singaporean singer-songwriter rhyu confronts imposter syndrome in her sombre new single “Go Away Green,” continuing to shape her artistic voice.
Singaporean singer-songwriter rhyu kicks off the new year with her latest single, “Go Away Green,” released on January 6. The track is a sombre and reflective R&B song that explores feelings of imposter syndrome and emotional invisibility.
“Go Away Green” draws inspiration from a paint colour used in theme parks. Designers use the shade to hide buildings and structures. As a result, visitors focus on the brighter attractions instead. rhyu turns this idea into a metaphor for her own emotions.
In the song, rhyu links imposter syndrome to the urge to disappear. She sings about wanting to fade into the background. She wants to go unseen and unnoticed. In doing so, she avoids judgment and pressure. Being painted “Go Away Green” becomes a symbol of emotional safety and escape.
Musically, the track moves through a smooth and atmospheric R&B sound. The production stays subtle and controlled. This choice puts the focus on her voice and lyrics. As a result, the song feels intimate and vulnerable. Instead of dramatizing the feeling, rhyu delivers it with quiet honesty.
