the songs in my album
If I Had You Again
“I’m not the same girl I was back then—but would it matter?”
“I think we all wonder what would happen if we got a second chance with someone we lost. Would it be different? Or would we make the same mistakes? If I Had You Again is about realizing you’ve changed, that you’re stronger now, and wishing you had the chance to love someone as the person you are today.”
Sugar & Spice
“Some love is sweet, some love is fire—the best kind keeps you guessing.”
“Love isn’t always heartbreak and longing—sometimes, it’s fun, unpredictable, and just the right mix of sweet and fiery. Sugar & Spice is about the kind of love that keeps you on your toes, that makes your heart race in the best way. It’s playful, full of energy, and a little bit mischievous.”
Love was Good to me
“Not every love lasts forever, but some leave us grateful.”
“Not every love story lasts forever, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t real. I wanted this song to feel like looking back at love with gratitude rather than regret. It’s about appreciating what someone brought into your life, even if they’re no longer in it.”
Did I Let You Go Too Soon?
This is a soulful jazz-blues ballad with haunting melodies is questioning: “Was it fate, or was it a mistake?”
“Regret is a tricky thing. Sometimes, you don’t realize what you had until it’s gone, and then you start replaying every moment, wondering if you were the one who let it slip away. This song is about that lingering question—was it fate, or was it a mistake? It’s the kind of thought that keeps you awake at night.”
A Room of My Own
“This song is about learning to be alone without feeling lonely. After love fades, you start redefining who you are outside of that relationship. It’s not just about missing someone—it’s about rebuilding yourself. Writing this song was a reminder to me that solitude isn’t emptiness; it’s space to grow.”
Back to Me
“Some love stories don’t have an ending—just a pause.”
“This song is about love that finds its way back. Sometimes, two people drift apart only to realize they were meant to be together all along. Back to Me is about that pull—about the kind of love that survives distance, time, and even doubt.”
Snowfall Serenade
“The snow keeps falling, but my heart stays warm.”
“There’s something about watching snow fall that makes you feel like time has slowed down. Snowfall Serenade is about that quiet kind of longing, where you’re wrapped in warmth but still dreaming of someone. It’s unclear whether it’s a past love or a future one—but that’s the beauty of it. It’s a love song for winter nights, full of comfort, yet just a little melancholic.”
Last Night in Istanbul
“Some places hold love like a secret.”
“Some places hold love like a secret, and for me, Istanbul is one of those cities. This song is about one last night with someone before you have to part ways. It’s about stolen moments, whispered promises, and the feeling that even though it’s over, the city will always remember it for you.”
Miles to Love
“Some roads bring us together, some take us apart.”
“Some roads bring us together, some take us apart. I wrote Miles to Love thinking about how love isn’t just about emotions—it’s about timing, about circumstances, about distance. Sometimes, you’re willing to go anywhere for love… but what if love is waiting somewhere you’ve already left?”
I wonder
“Some questions never fade, and some loves never truly leave.”
“Some people stay with us, even when they’re gone. I Wonder is about that quiet longing—the kind where you’re not heartbroken anymore, but you still think about someone late at night. It’s a song for the love that never truly fades, just softens into memory.”
