‘Shalalala’ sees Cian exploring the turmoil and chaos of the world we live in, but finding a ray of optimism within the communities and personal connections that we share. Its soaring vocals, thunderous percussion and inspiring gospel backing vocals provide an exhilarating, mood-boosting rush which underlines his belief that we need to keep hope in sight even when circumstances are tough.

The song was written by Cian with Anton Göransson and Isabella Sjostrand (RAYE), Bill Maybury (James Bay) and Theo Hutchcraft (Calvin Harris, Måneskin). It was produced by Cian and Anton Göransson, the duo also producing the vocals alongside Isabella Sjostrand.

Cian says, “This song is about hope and solidarity in times where the world feels like it needs it most. It’s about holding our friends, loved ones and strangers close and remembering we are all part of the same world, the same community, the same purpose. Love is the only answer, and beauty is there where you look for it. The probability of being born is estimated to be 1 in 400 trillion and never mind that we are all here at the same time…so let’s come together rand let us sing together SHALALALA”.

‘Shalalala’ joins the recent singles ‘Who’s Making You Feel It’ and the title track in previewing the ‘Little Dreaming’ album. The record is a beautifully cohesive work that invites listeners to travel with him on a journey of self-discovery. Put together with a tight-knit group of trusted collaborators, it sees him showcase a dazzling ‘70s and ‘80s sound – influenced by greats such as Elton John, Michael Jackson and Queen – all the while baring his soul through heartfelt, authentic songwriting.

‘Little Dreaming’ is set to add more career highlights to a journey that has already seen Cian achieve so much. In addition to scoring a #1 debut album, he has also amassed over 1.4 billion streams, and earlier this year won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Song as the co-writer of SZA’s global hit ‘Saturn’.

‘Little Dreaming’ is available to pre-order HERE. The pick of the physical products is a dazzling tricolour vinyl which is available exclusively from Cian’s official store.
