After hinting through various social platforms, Vermont’s finest Noah Kahan follows the release of his Amazon Music exclusive cover of Cat Stevens' “Wild World” with his newest single “Part of Me." Co-written by Nick Atkinson (Little Mix, Lewis Capaldi, Dermot Kennedy) and Edd Holloway (Gabrielle Aplin, Dean Lewis, Harrison Storm), Kahan lyricizes about the hardship of losing yourself by losing someone backed by powerful folk acoustics, evocative lyrics, and its remorseful as well as reminiscent tones.
To further explain the meaning behind the song, Kahan states:
“‘Part of Me’ is a song about someone looking back on an almost-romance and realizing that what felt like simply a passing moment of connection between two people was actually far more significant and represented a larger loneliness within. Drifting through life and avoiding feelings for anyone or anything is something I’m far too familiar with, and sometimes one experience with somebody can open somebody’s heart and force them to be vulnerable again. ‘Part of Me’ is about the realization that a seemingly insignificant moment can be far more important that you knew.”
Overall, Kahan gives an introspective look at musically exemplifying the importance of the effects of losing someone and how its impact can be heavier on someone than to expect. “Part of Me” serves as one of the first singles from Kahan’s anxiously awaited sophomore album, due for release later this year, and for more updates, news, and music related to Noah Kahan be sure to follow him on Instagram and Twitter.
