Cameron Hayes Premieres New Song “Who Was I To Want You?” on BBC Radio 1
London-based singer-songwriter Cameron Hayes premiered a new song “Who Was I To Want You?” on BBC Radio 1's Future Artists with Sian Eleri.
The song is the follow-up to “Lover, Please Stay”, which was released last month.
Both songs will appear on her upcoming 7-track mixtape “The Full Is Mine”, which is expected to be released in October 2025.
The mixtape is her first project since the 2024 EP “Second Best”.
The track was written by Aiden Morgan, Christopher Lole, and Heather Cameron Hayes. Produced by KnaveBluprint.
Cameron Hayes said of the song, “It’s about a relationship coming to an end, with the realisation that it was toxic and unhealthy from the start. You start to see that the feelings were never truly reciprocated, but you had rose tinted glasses on and couldn’t see quite how bad it was.”- Cameron Hayes told Sian Eleri about the song, “It's about a relationship that I had just breaking down. And as that happens, you start to see that it was actually quite toxic and very unhealthy from the start. When you have roses to glasses on and you choose not to see all of the flags that are definitely very, very red. So it's basically about kind of coming to terms with the fact that this relationship isn't going anywhere, and you should probably not be in it anymore.”
She continued, “This is the first one about this specific relationship, and there are a lot more coming your way about this specific relationship. But it's something that I do just really enjoy doing, because it does help me, as well as help other people with them relating to kind of those same feelings.” -
She said of the mixtape, “A lot of them are about that relationship, and kind of different perspectives on that, like some of them are quite introspective about maybe how I've acted and what kind of happened on my side of things. And then, the whole vibe of the project, it kind of ranges into some that are more like intense and quite fast enough beat, and then some that are very fast as well. So you kind of get lots of different points of the emotions that were felt in each song, which I love.” - source : BBC Radio 1
