October 24, 2025 – International recording artist Kallay Saunders drops his powerful new single, "YOU," today, offering a stunning emotional core to his upcoming album, another night. The track is accompanied by an ambitious, cinematic music video that is set to raise the artist's global profile. Both the single and video are available worldwide now.

The Genre Mix: Soul, Country, and Deep Roots

"YOU" stands out for its unique blend of styles. Saunders describes the sound as a powerful fusion: "You could say it’s a powerful fusion of soul, country, and blues, tapping into the deep, roots-driven emotional core of American music."" a raw energy that underscores the song's theme of betrayal and lingering heartache.

Lyrically, the song tackles deep emotional territory, centered on the line: "I was a fool, 'cause I thought it was true, now I'm here, swimming in blues."

A Story of Heartbreak and Resilience

Saunders elaborated on the personal meaning behind the track and its connection to the forthcoming album:

"The core of 'YOU' is vulnerability and honesty. It's about looking back at a deep relationship and having to admit you were a fool because you truly believed in it, even when the signs of betrayal were there. That line, 'She broke my heart in two,' is the heaviest part—it's the moment you realize the cost of giving everything to someone who took it for granted. The inspiration is obviously a very real, very painful breakup. Right now, this song feels like closure; it's the final chapter of that intense experience."

He also provided context for the album as a whole:

"another night is an album deeply rooted in heartbreak and struggle, but its true message is about learning to find purpose again and coming out of the struggle stronger than ever."

International Collaboration Behind the Sound

The intense track emerged from a collaborative session in Athens, Greece. Saunders was working with songwriter and producer Claydee and the multi-platinum producer Paris when the concept took shape. The final spark of inspiration came unexpectedly from a guitar riff played by Claydee’s son, David Lupa. The track was finalized by Saunders’ long-time collaborator, producer Anatu, cementing its readiness for an international audience.

A Striking Cinematic Visual Experience

The accompanying video, which elevates the track’s cinematic mood, was developed from Saunders' original vision by director Leho DaNel (Leho Legacy) and captured by videographer Csirke (Horváth Csaba).

The visuals function as a high-fashion "image film with a minimal storyline," juxtaposing the protagonist's emotional turmoil with breathtaking scenes of the Hungarian countryside. The video utilizes wide-open fields, woods, a wooden house, and a horse to explore the raw and beautiful memories of a past relationship, all filmed with modern, cinematic flair.

Bigger Plans Ahead: 15-Year Tour

"Absolutely, 'YOU' is the latest piece of a much larger puzzle. The final album, another night, is coming, and that will be followed by a major tour to celebrate Kallay Saunders 15 years in music and finally bring this album's energy to my fans. The excitement is huge! Right now, details regarding the European tour are being confirmed, so I can't share much yet, but I'm incredibly excited to share everything with my fans soon.
