The moving new release is the artist’s first single of the year following an excellent 2025
A track that is packed full of emotion and heart throughout, Berlin based alternative pop artist JILIAAN‘s new single ‘I Wanted It To Be You’ is a track that explores the feeling of being so devoted and infatuated with someone that you’re willing to lose your identity and anything that makes you you in order to hold onto them, disappearing into your love in abandoning yourself in the process.
There is a really powerful and poignant feel to the soundscape here that pairs effortlessly with this narrative, making for a listening experience that is packed full of rawness and relatability throughout. There is a devastatingly vulnerable nature to the sound and the lyrics that are amplified by a nuanced and restrained vocal performance by JILIAAN, and it has a cinematic and moving quality to it that will stick with you for long after your listen.
