Paris WYA Releases New Song “Only Time Will Tell”
New York-based Chinese singer-songwriter Paris WYA released her brand new single called “Only Time Will Tell” on October 10, 2025.
The song will appear on her upcoming third EP “MANNEQUIN”, which will have its release date announced soon.
The track blends wistful '80s synth-pop textures with her emotionally charged lyricism, capturing the quiet weight of love lost and the lingering “what ifs” that remain.
Written and recorded in just two hours after Paris WYA and producer Adrian Cota.
The accompanying music video was directed by Domen & Van de Velde.
Paris WYA said of the song, “Adrian Cota and I made this song from scratch in just half a day. We had a few extra hours in the studio and started riffing on the longing for certainty that comes with loss. It was an incredibly healing song to record, during a time where I was searching for clarity. A huge thank you to Domen & Van De Velde for helping me bring this project to life. I couldn't have built the new world of Paris WYA without you. Excited to continue pushing boundaries and being fearless together.”- She said of the EP, “I've spent so long making music that didn't fully represent me. It's such an incredible and grounding feeling to finally share something I love and that stays true to myself. This EP is my baby. It's vulnerable, emotional, messy, and I couldn't be more proud. I never understood why so many artists spoke of heartbreak, losing themselves, and insecurity as if it were their superpower… until I experienced it myself and turned it into fuel. This EP came from grief, healing, and clarity. It showed me that pain, when processed through art, can be transformative.”
