Yify Zhang’s new song, This is The Year, is an anthem of new beginnings and self-discovery. It takes you on a vibrant journey where pop sensibilities and sound healing converge.

The song kicks off with a confession of the struggle of trying to mould oneself into shapes defined by others. Zhang’s voice, both gentle and firm, invites listeners to shed these ill-fitting layers.

The chorus urges listeners to embrace the fire within. The melody here does something clever – it lifts, mimicking the very act of rising above doubts and fears.

The lyrics weave through the struggles of self-belief and the constant battle between pleasing others and pleasing oneself. Zhang’s narrative isn’t sugar-coated; it acknowledges the rush and the lack of trust in oneself, yet it leans towards hope, towards something stirring on the horizon.

As the song closes, with its repeated affirmations of self-belief, it doesn’t feel like an end but a beginning. This is The Year isn’t just an optimistic outlook but grounded in reality. It doesn’t promise a fairy-tale ending; instead, it offers a soundtrack for the journey, for the hard work of believing in oneself.
