The Thai rapper wears his heart on his sleeve as he vents against heartbreak

Thai rapper Saran ended 2025 with ‘รัก เศร้า เหงา ซึม’, a collaboration with UrboyTJ that acts a bridge into 2026. The song captures a specific emotional state, loneliness without the spectacle, and lets it sit in place.

The production moves at its own pace, and it is built on a restrained, low-tempo beat that gives the lyrics room to breathe. Saran’s delivery feels conversational, almost internal, as if he’s thinking out loud rather than performing. His verses trace confusion around love, adulthood, and isolation. He touches on family, memory, and the quiet discomfort of feeling out of sync with the world at the end of the year.

UrboyTJ’s hook anchors the track emotionally. His repeated lines about shouting into the sky and not knowing who is listening frame the song’s core idea of wanting to be heard, even without knowing by whom. The switch between Thai and English, particularly the line about talking to the mirror, adds to that sense of self-dialogue, reinforcing the idea that this song is as much inward-facing as it is shared.

Rather than aiming for resolution, ‘รัก เศร้า เหงา ซึม’ accepts uncertainty. Saran imagines love, escape, and connection, only to pull himself back to reality, acknowledging that some feelings exist only as thoughts. That honesty is what gives the song weight.
