She released her new single 'How To Get Over You' on December 1st and is set to release her upcoming album soon. The song is a touching Pop ballad, where Kaiyah Mercedes' shares her story in a very unique way.

The track is a beautiful masterclass when it comes to emotional storytelling. 'How To Get Over You' is full of perfect imperfect moments which transform the listening experience into a genuine one. Kaiyah speaks about love and heartbreak with ease. She invites the listeners into her world of vulnerability. As the song takes shape, we realize that it's both heartbreaking and relatable. In 'How To Get Over You', the artist shares her feelings about being rejected and not being wanted in a relationship. She perfectly describes the emotional pain that follows such an experience; especially the isolation.


Each lyric feels like the words are coming from the artist's personal journal and it allows the listeners to connect with the track on another level. Kaiyah was only 14 when she first wrote the song and later she rewrote it with the help of Francesca de Valence when she was 16. It went from a song talking about a crush to changing into something more mature and complex. 'How To Get Over You' was produced by Seetali Mack, who also produced Kaiyah's upcoming album.

At just 17 years old, Kaiyah Mercedes has already reached over 230,000 streams and is well on her way to becoming a voice that matters in the international Pop scene.
