Cloe Givelinโs upcoming single, โLiving in My Own World,โ dropped this August 15, 2025, is a statement piece from a rising artist who refuses to play by anyone elseโs rules. Rooted in her experience as a Eurasian, biracial woman who has spent much of her life drifting across countries, languages, and cultures, the track digs into the isolation of being perpetually out of place while also embracing the resilience that comes with carving oneโs own path. Itโs a taste of her forthcoming debut album, SPH, which promises to wrestle with heavy themes like identity, alienation, and hope, all wrapped in sharp-edged rock textures. Fans of The Cranberries and Blondie will find familiar things to dig in.
The track begins with smooth, warm guitar strums that immediately set an intimate tone. Soon after, Givelinโs delicate yet impassioned voice slips in with fragility and quiet defiance. Before long, the intensity rises, her vocals stretching higher as the drums kick in with bustling urgency, while the guitar rings out in melodic chimes that border on haunting. Just as you settle into the pulse, she shifts gears. The chorus lifts the energy sky-high, blending soaring vocals with electrifying, cathartic and unshakably personal instrumentals. Itโs an anthem for anyone who has ever felt invisible in a crowded room yet determined to hold their ground.
By the time the final notes fade, you realize that โLiving in My Own Worldโ isnโt about retreat or escapeโitโs about defiance, survival, and claiming a space that may not have been built for you in the first place.
