Teasing the emotions of love at first sight, South Korean singer-songwriter, producer, and DJ SHAUN is back, giving us butterflies with his latest single, “So Right” featuring Malaysian singer-songwriter Yuna released on Thursday, 24th February 2022, at 6 p.m. KST.

The single “So Right” is not a regular track; it is a journey that the duo orchestrated to take listeners to a sensual ride, providing hope that love is just around the corner if we can only close our eyes and trust there is. After meeting each other last October in LA, the soulful duo joined hands to create this masterpiece. The song shows off SHAUN’s top-notch production skills through sensuous beats and deep sounds complemented with the snare, finger snaps, and quicks along with Yuna’s unparalleled lyricism. Their honey vocals represent an artful experience grabbing the listener’s attention right in the first listen.

The song begins with sonic beats and fresh morning vibes with bird chirps. The first verse contains Yuna’s breathy vocals.

Hit and run

Came into my life like the morning sun

Won’t give up my heart for anyone

You doin’ it like you’re having fun, oh yeah 

And SHAUN’s soft vocals in the second verse:

Take your time

This ain’t just some temporary high

Baby, it’s not like I’m gonna die (Gonna die, gonna die)

If you don’t feel the same, I’ma be alright, oh yeah

By the end of this heavenly track, you will feel so nice and listening to it on repeat will feel so right! (pun intended)

You know why-y, why-y
