Singapore’s Indie-pop star Shye releases her new dream-like single “I WANTED IT TO BE YOU.”
Singaporean singer-songwriter Shye comes back to the fold with an atmospheric new single, “I Wanted It To Be You.” The first release after her Sophomore album.
Creatively, this starts a new chapter that serves as a soft but powerful entry to this era. This explores the unfamiliar weightlessness that can guide in trying times.
The song is about the loss of a relationship and the potential future with it. “I Wanted It To Be You” focuses in the bittersweet area between acceptance and longing. Specifically, it knows it is time to move on while the thought of the outcome might be different. Shye explores heartbreak in the good and beauty of the contrast, rather than going through the darkness and intensity.

Shye shares her thoughts on the new single:
I hope the song connects with listeners who have had to grieve not only a person but also the future they associated with them. The song offers recognition to anyone caught between holding on to what they believed would happen and accepting the possibility of something new.
The song tackles not only the loss of a relationship, but also the person you potentially want to be with it. Additionally, it translates the emotional stress into an ethereal soundscape, bringing the feeling of heartbreak that can accompany you in life’s most challenging moments.
For Shye, this latest single is a continuation that is build from in “The Doves Came Home“. Additionally, it also opens the door to a new chapter of creative exploration. It acknowledges emotional complexity, and mixing it with the world she created.
