Breakup songs are often written after the fact and after the mind was made up about its importance and long-term effects. “Red Balloon,” the new song by Surinamese/Dutch singer/songwriter [**néomi**](https://glamglare.com/artist/neomi?ref=glamglare.com) has its origins much earlier. This may explain the intensity of the track, which builds from a simple piano line to a gripping tale about the complexity of falling out of love.

Here is the story in néomí’s own words:

> “red balloon was written in the winter of 21\. I’d moved into a new home together with my boyfriend and we were going through a tough time. He suggested we write a song together so we went to the piano, sat down having not discussed a lot, and just let the music speak. Little did we know we were writing a break-up song as we parted a couple of months later. Maybe we did know, but we were just very content at that moment creating a song together. I still love that man very much, but love is a very complicated thing as you might understand. The song wasn’t finished so months later I decided to finish it up with a good friend of mine. I gave it a twist, as my heart literally burst like a red balloon at that time. Now I just hope that one day I’ll be lifted like a beautiful red balloon that didn’t rip open.” 

“Red Balloon” comes on the heels of néomí’s debut EP “[before](https://glamglare.com/album/neomi-before?ref=glamglare.com).” Listen to our Song Pick of the Day on your [favorite streaming service](https://neomi.lnk.to/redballoon?ref=glamglare.com) or below on YouTube:
