There has never been a better time than now for fans of Novi to listen (on repeat) to one of her latest songs.

It’s been two weeks since 2026 came into full swing. Though the song was released in 2025, it’s never too late to reflect, take a step back, and perhaps let go of the things that are no longer beneficial to you.

Despite its electronic beat, its melody is calming, making it a therapeutic listen, especially in this era when attention spans tend to be much shorter and people around us may not be as understanding as we’d hope for.  

The lyrics are beautiful because they accurately capture what’s needed to be expressed and felt by those who’ve had a heavy (number of) year(s).

Novi, through her voice, craft, and message, is certainly helping her listeners and fans on the path of self-discovery and self-love, turning dark episodes into something more hopeful, determined and brighter.

So, the message is clear: Walk with a certain ease within yourself. You don’t always have to listen to others, unless they’re helping you get to where you want to be – genuinely and without motives. The most important thing is that peace is attainable, even if it means walking away from the familiar or your comfort zone.

The lyric video is available to watch on YouTube, while the audio is available on major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music.

Novi Lianti, who is of Indonesian origin, goes by the handle @novi.vibes on her social media channels. She is also known as Novi.

Happy re-listening! Here’s to a happier 2026!
