In “Belong To You,” rising star Josh Makazo explores the painful reality of coming to terms with betrayal from infidelity. The track sets the rawness of love, loss, and the lingering bonds of a broken relationship against a catchy, uplifting melody.

In the classic juxtaposition of an upbeat song with heartrending lyrics, “Belong To You” tells the story of heartache and confusion as Makazo struggles with the aftermath of infidelity while seeking clarity.

Makazo shares that he drew inspiration for the single “Belong To You” from his personal experience with an unfaithful partner. The lyrics of overwhelming betrayal disguised by the song’s uplifting melodies and upbeat tempo are all intended to metaphorically represent a happy facade I carried for a long time.

Makazo’s rise is attributable to his music’s ability to capture the complexity of human emotions and blend them into an irresistible pop sound. “Belong To You” exemplifies this, as the track is a catchy song that can tell a deep story that resonates with its listeners.

One of the emotions that harboured in my heart for a long time was this feeling of confusion, but eventually that cleared up with the acceptance of reality. Pulling further away from the intimate ‘world’ me and my partner shared, I had realised all of it was shattered coming to terms with the truth. This feeling of acceptance was so impactful for me that I wanted to convey it in the song itself. I want my listeners to feel the state of reflection I was in. The complexity of the saxophone solo at the end amidst so many other complementary elements represents the hysteria of overwhelming emotions I experienced.
