AVNMEDIA.ID -  Singaporean singer-songwriter rhyu has returned with her latest single, “Pity,” an emotional indie pop track that explores the frustration of modern situationships and romance left hanging in uncertainty.

Released on July 17, 2026, “Pity” marks rhyu’s third single of the year, following “Go Away Green” and “When the Weather Comes,” her collaboration with Italian singer Anthony Lazaro.

Built around rhyu’s signature blend of soulful melodies and indie pop, “Pity” tells the story of a relationship caught between friendship and commitment.

The song captures the bittersweet feeling of seeing a promising romance go to waste, while its playful lyrics challenge the uncertainty of undefined relationships.

At the heart of the track is a simple but heartfelt plea, as rhyu urges her love interest to finally let her “be yours now.”

Despite its emotional theme, “Pity” maintains an easy-listening atmosphere, combining warm instrumentation with heartfelt storytelling.

The song is expected to resonate with listeners who have experienced the excitement, confusion, and longing that often come with the early stages of love.

The new release further showcases rhyu’s ability to transform personal experiences into relatable music, a quality that has helped her build a growing fanbase across Asia and beyond.

Short for Raine Hahn Yu, rhyu has been writing songs since she was just four years old.

She describes her music as collections of memories and emotions, hoping her songs provide listeners with the same comfort they bring her.

Since making her debut in 2022, rhyu has emerged as one of Singapore's rising indie artists.

Her breakout single, “Kaleidoscope,” has surpassed 4 million Spotify streams, while her Spotify profile now attracts more than 138,000 monthly listeners.

With “Pity,” rhyu continues to cement her reputation as one of Singapore’s most promising singer-songwriters, delivering another heartfelt track that speaks to the realities of modern love. (jas)
