about

Perfectly executing the intense highs and painfully poignant lows of a true artistic career, New Zealand-born producer, songwriter, and vocalist Estella Dawn brazenly strips away the dance detail and confidence, with the striking vulnerability of a piano-led and deeply evocative ‘If You Were in Love’.
Built around a poetic depiction of intimate scenes and self-reflection, ‘If You Were in Love’ speaks with fearless reality on the devastating ache of unrequited connection.
The soundscape gathers divinely subtle momentum, as the lyrics tumble further into the depths of realism. Estella’s voice in unison reaches heart-breaking peaks, as the desperation and longing of the hook hammers down with unrelenting ferocity.
Renowned across the indie realm for her unmistakable vocal power, as well as the unrivaled precision and versatility of her writing and production, Estella Dawn has been nothing short of an awe-inspiring trailblazer throughout the past two years.
Launching single after single and with videos to match, forever redirecting fans with some new topic or style – uniting Hip Hop, RnB, Pop, Dance and Folk across a limitless tapestry of creative design – Estella’s reputation now securely precedes her.
Noting similarities to the artistic versatility of Olivia Rodrigo, Benson Boone, Lady Gaga and Lewis Capaldi, along with millions of streams across dozens of original tracks, Estella Dawn is an indie force to be reckoned with.
Though long-time fans adore the powerful anthems and creative performances of her music, the sheer simplicity, stripped-back honesty and raw emotional grit of ‘If You Were in Love’ is set to ignite a whole new level of unbreakable soulful connection.

lyrics

I wanna give you permanence
Like the ink on your skin
Commitment don’t scare you
Unless it’s me
I’m sweating through the bedsheets
I woke up on your side again
I hate this water running down my cheeks

Don’t you see
That I don’t wanna change yah
I’ve seen the very worst of you
And I’m still here
And oh my god I wish that were enough

If you were in love would’ve said it by now
The more that I hold on the more you hold out
Why am I tryna convince you
You want me around?
I don’t recognize myself now

The moment I met yah
I put you up in the heavens
But you don’t belong there my buzzcut baby
Made a mess of me
And my mind
Is swimming through the darkest of waters
Hoping you might notice
I don’t have my hands up anymore
Don’t you see that I don’t wanna change yah
I’ve seen the very worst of you
And I’m still here
And my god
Why can’t that be enough

If you were in love would’ve said it by now
The more that I hold on the more you hold out
Why am I tryna convince you
You want me around?
I don’t recognize myself now

Cuz what if I walk away
And you get it together
What if you need me babe
And I’m gone gone
What if I walk away
And you get it together
Oh I won’t be here forever

If you are in love
Better say it now
I can’t hold on
When you hold out
I don’t want to convince you
you need me around
I don’t recognize myself now
