Bess Chew has today released her new single titled ‘Falling Back to You’. Feeling that total pop production with the indie flair retained, Bess moves forward with a light heart and heavy hitting track that sheds all the light and leaves nothing for the imagination, except the imagination, and a little life lesson learned.
Musically tight and precise with enough soundscape to give it that extra touch with the initial listen, this is more than a pop song; it’s a lesson in melody. The hook is a monster and the production takes you back a few decades while looking forward to the rest of this decade, showing music can be timeless and relevant at the same time. This is a feelgood song for the now.

About ‘Falling Back to You’
Written from a place of reflection and hindsight, “Falling back to you” playfully examines Bess Chew’s naivety during this crush period, adding a relatable and lighthearted touch to the highs and lows of infatuation. “‘Falling Back to You’ captures his art of stringing girls on, which caused me to experience fluctuating and mixed emotions, as certain gestures of his would either cause me to raise my hopes that he liked me or to feel rejected,” Chew reveals. The new single showcases Chew’s unique ability to turn deeply personal moments into universally relatable pop anthems, blending raw honesty with upbeat rhythms that keep listeners coming back for more. The track is an ode to naive and young love, the type to consume someone for so long, with a reminder to look back on it and laugh. Chew’s light-hearted melodies and rich vocals are fused with drums performed by Daniel Chew and electric guitar by Shena Tan. Adrian Wong mixed and mastered the track.
Bess Chew’s journey into music began in Singapore, where she discovered a passion for the performing arts through musicals, drama, and choir. At 16, she moved to Perth, Australia, where she found a more freeing academic environment and later earned a degree in psychology from the University of Western Australia. However, her passion for music won out, leading her to pursue it full-time. Since releasing her debut single “Getaway” in June 2024, which landed on major Spotify playlists like Poses and New Music Friday Singapore, Chew continues to hone her craft. Her previous single, “Scarborough Sand,” received praise from outlets such as FEMMUSIC, Jammerzine, and Outloud! Culture.
About Bess Chew
Bess Chew was born and raised in Singapore, where she navigated a rigid educational system. From a young age, she was immersed in the performing arts, participating in musicals, drama plays, choir performances, and short educational films. In secondary school, she trained with a former Korean musical actress to develop her vocal skills. When she was 16, she moved to Perth, Australia, where she found a more liberating and refreshing academic environment. Despite her dream for music, she initially followed the traditional academic path, earning a degree in Psychology with a minor in Korean from the University of Western Australia (UWA).
After being offered a place in postgraduate law school, she chose instead to pursue her heart’s passion—music—and hasn’t looked back since. She continued her music studies by completing a one-year diploma in songwriting and production at the School of Music and the Arts (SOMA) in Singapore, where she first began writing and producing her own songs. One of those songs was “Getaway,” which became her debut single. Now based in London, BESSCHEW has recently completed a one-year songwriting course at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance (ICMP) and released “Getaway,” in June 2024. The track quickly gained attention, being featured in prominent Spotify Editorial Playlists, including Poses, New Music Friday Singapore, and New Music Friday Malaysia.
