“Written In Our Bones,” the new single from Franklin-based artist HELN, arrives as a sweeping, emotionally charged release built on the instinctive chemistry between HELN and producer Dr. Ford. Released October 31st, 2025, the track showcases the pair’s continued ability to turn a simple melodic idea into something cinematic.

HELN wrote and performed the song herself, leaning into themes of longing, destiny, and the gravitational pull between two people who feel inevitably bound, no matter how messy circumstances may be. With Dr. Ford shaping the arrangement in his studio, the track becomes a polished, immersive release that captures HELN right in the middle of finding her voice and, in her own words, finally enjoying the process.

The song itself opens with a pulsing, spacious rhythm that comes with a heartbeat-like thrum under soft, grainy vocals. HELN sings delicately and softly, building the narrative with the empty-room imagery. Her voice has a high, dreamy lift to it, that carries emotion without ever forcing it, and she uses that texture to build slow-burning tension as the narrative unfolds.

As the beat pumps harder and the production swells, the pre-chorus edges toward something more urgent. HELN’s voice gains height and shimmer, soaring into the chorus where the melody blooms and the theme crystallizes. Engulfed into the meaning is the line, “Written in our bones, the rhythm of our hearts colliding,” wrapped in glowing synths.
