Cian Ducrot Releases New Song “Shalalala”
Back in March, Irish singer-songwriter Cian Ducrot announced his sophomore album “Little Dreaming” would be released on July 11, 2025.
From the album, he released third single called “Shalalala” on May 30, 2025, following “Who's Making You Feel It” and “Little Dreaming”.
The song sees Cian Ducrot exploring the turmoil and chaos of the world we live in, while finding a ray of optimism in the communities and personal connections we share.
The track was written by Anton Göransson, Bill Maybury, Cian Ducrot, Isabella Sjostrand, and Theo Hutchcraft. Produced by Anton Göransson and Cian Ducrot.
Cian Ducrot said of the song, “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.”- The new album comprises 13 tracks, featuring a guest appearance from Grace Bowers. It is his first album in two years since the 2023 debut album “Victory”.
Cian Ducrot said of the album, “This album has been a crazy journey, it was an absolutely amazing experience. I set out to just be as creative and as free and as expressive as possible, and I think we've done that.”
He shared on social media, “When it was time to start working on CD2, I knew I had to push myself more than ever before. So I set out to write over 100 songs to hopefully make the best album I could. (Apparently, that's what my heroes did?) I won't lie-it was scary and hard to know if I was doing anything right, or if I was ever gonna write a good song. But I was searching so hard for a certain feeling. No matter how good or bad the songs were, I was chasing that feeling. At 70 songs in, I still didn't have it. BUT I felt close... I wrote everywhere—from the top of a mountain in the Alps to the English countryside, to a studio in Hollywood, at home, my mom's house, your mom's house?! Ok maybe not that last one but still... almost everywhere!!” -
He continued, “A wise friend told me: 'you can fk yourself once or twice in this process—make something you don't like and no one else does, OR make something you love... and maybe still no one else likes it lol. But at least with the latter, you've made something you truly love. Then you've only fked yourself once!!' So that's what I did. And it was the most incredible, life-changing experience-to be a kid again and write without pressure. And then it fell out!!”
He added, “And now here I am-so nervous but also excited to announce 'LITTLE DREAMING', my sophomore album, out July 11th!! (Unless someone really famous drops one the same day... then I'll probably have some “delays out of my control” lol). Feels like only yesterday I put out Victory, yet I've been working on this album for a lifetime. So many amazing collaborators, friends, and loved ones helped make this possible (you know who you are).” - source : Apple Music
