London-based singer-songwriter NXTHXN reveals his innermost struggles on the artful single “Chose You,” a heartfelt admission with sultry R&B undertones and raw lyricism. An artist famous for his lyrical storytelling and soft, soulful delivery, NXTHXN deconstructs love, opening up the depths of difficult decisions and harsh truths often left unsaid.
“Chose You” centers around an agonizing dilemma in which NXTHXN is torn between two significant relationships, one with their friend and the other with their partner, and must contend with the implications of their choice. His unpretentious lyrics hold nothing back as it’s a wake-up call. The track goes in waves of guilt and passion and ultimately on to the firm decision to do what feels right, regardless of the collateral damage.
NXTHXN calls the song a raw confession about the burden of choosing love at any cost. Smooth but punctuated by heartache, his vocals detour across a moody, atmospheric bed, allowing the listener to feel the emotional heft of every word. The track reflects the turbulence of human connection, in which love is never black and white but the knot of choices, sacrifice, and self-discovery.
What makes “Chose You” so striking is its authenticity. NXTHXN doesn’t cast himself as the hero or the villain as he is at once the unflinching medicine and the dirty secret of heartbreak, the uncomfortable fact of leaving one heart to pursue another. It’s a story a lot know, but few are willing to keep it accurate, so this is not only a personal tale but also something everyone experiences.
“Chose You” also has a lush, intimate feel, mixing contemporary R&B touches with a hauntingly gorgeous soundscape. The sparse but enveloping production on the track places NXTHXN’s voice front and center, allowing every lyric to hit the listener. With “Chose You,” NXTHXN shows that he is a storyteller who dives headfirst into the messy, beautiful, unsparing realities of love. Though honest, vulnerable, and deeply compelling, this track will be a do-not-miss for anyone who has ever found themselves pressed between the Vice of love and the hard judgment of the world.
