SHY Martin Shares New Single ‘Remember You Were The One’
Following the release of her bedroom-pop single Break With Me, SHY Martin, the moniker of Swedish pop singer-songwriter Sara Hjellström returns with her new single Remember You Were The One, out now on her label SHY Recordings.
Remember You Were The One showcases a slightly darker side of her musical spectrum, mixing influences from her alternative teenage idols with a contemporary flair and clear message of self-respect. Written together with her long-time writing partner
Litens Anton Nilsson as well as Julia Karlsson, Remember You Were The One is a captivating pop song about accepting the end of a relationship instead of dwelling about what went wrong. It's an empowering, self-respect anthem wrapped around an infectious production on which her characteristic vocals soar over a trap-infused beat and live guitars while she reminds us about the importance of self-worth and daring to
set boundaries, essentially saying “you did me wrong, and I won’t smooth
it over”. Another gem from this artist which I think you will love!
Speaking about the song, SHY Martin said,
I feel like I‘ve become better at respecting myself and my energy during the last year, I’ve learnt to move away from situations and people that don't make me happy. I’ve never been good at letting relationships go and as a songwriter I’ve always gone back to old relationships trying to figure out why they went wrong or if I could have done something differently to change the outcome. This song is the first one I’ve written about accepting it for what it is instead of dwelling on the past.
It's released alongside a music video, recorded by SHY Martin and her brother Hampus Hjellström in his apartment last month. Check it out below!
Speaking about the video, SHY Martin said,
Me and Hampus isolated ourselves in his temporary apartment in Gothenburg for a few days while waiting for his covid test results, and the entire video was made right there. We had an idea of what we wanted to do but had to change it last minute which I’m very happy we did since I really love how the video turned out. I’m a list person and write at least a few lists every day, maybe because I have the worst memory ever. Since the song is about reminding someone about them doing you wrong, the post-its felt like a fun way of portraying that feeling.
