Singapore’s Indie Pop Darling Shye Unveils Hauntingly Poignant New Single ‘All at Once’

Singapore’s rising indie pop sensation, singer-songwriter and producer Shye returns this week with her newest single, “All at once”—a hauntingly atmospheric track that captures the quiet devastation of heartbreak. A continuation of the narrative explored in her previous single, “Waited for you”, the song deepens the emotional storyline, moving from longing to the silent ache of acceptance.

Where “Waited for you” explored the ache of longing for someone who never truly arrives, “All at once” moves into the aftermath. “The song sings about being haunted by the memories of a person who has moved on, while you’re still stuck in the echoes of what was,” Shye explains. Anchored by the repeated plea “Come back to me”, the song lives in that emotional loop of trying to feel okay when deep down, you’re unraveling. “It’s the kind of grief that seeps into everything around you—where you start to see the one you lost in everything and everyone. When you know it’s over and you have to move on but it’s easier said than done.

Shye – “All at once” (Lyric Video)

“With this track, I hope to give a voice to the quiet, complicated kind of heartbreak that often goes unspoken. The feeling of being stuck in the aftermath while the world keeps moving. I want listeners who are going through something similar to feel seen and less alone in their experience.“

— Shye
