“Nobody Likes Moving On” And Shy Martin Knows It Better Than Anyone.
Shy Martin
“‘Nobody Likes Moving On’ was written the day after we wrote ‘Keep You Mine.’ We were talking about break ups and about moving on. In my past relationships I’ve moved to another city after they’ve ended and through that been able to easily have a fresh start, with new relationships and friendships. The conversation led on to our current relationships and I realized how horrible and hard a break up with my current boyfriend would be as we have so many friends in common and work with the same people in the same industry. We’re also completely in love with the same small part of Stockholm where we spend most of our time in the same favorite cafés, shops and restaurants. One of the songwriters came up with the starting line ‘we can build a wall downtown,’ and we continued the whole song out of that simple idea of dividing up friends and places so as not to run into each other. In the end breaking up is not easy for anyone who goes through it, and the song highlights that.”
On May 22nd, Shy Martin released her single « Nobody Likes Moving On », which is an acoustic composition filled with vulnerability and colors. The track is another soothing and pleasant jam, properly displaying Shy’s sound signature -- a signature that never disappoints.
Indeed, from her debut single "A Little Longer" to the marvelous latter piece "Nobody Likes Moving On", Shy really came a long way, writing for the likes of Bebe Rexha, Kygo, Ellie Goulding and more, to finally find the sound signature that suits her personality.
Hard not to fall for those gentle breezes of melodies that she usually showcases in her productions.
Moreover, "Nobody Likes Moving On", as you may have already guessed, exhibits the difficulty of change after adaptation. We can all relate to the topic because we've been, at a certain point of life, challenged by the inconvenience of heartbreak, which, most of the time requires us to grow by moving on.
