Rising R&B artist Myles Lloyd returns today with his latest single, “One Sided,” a soulful and emotionally charged release that explores the painful realization of carrying a relationship that was never equally invested. Built around rhythmic production, smooth melodies, and Lloyd’s signature falsetto, the track blends heartfelt vulnerability with an instantly memorable hook.
Speaking about the single, Lloyd shared:
“One Sided is about going all in for somebody who was never really all in for you. It’s realizing you’ve been carrying the relationship on your back while they’re just along for the ride.”
The release arrives with significant momentum after generating widespread attention across social media. A preview of “One Sided” has already accumulated nearly two million likes, 35,000 shares, and 54,000 saves on Instagram, highlighting the growing anticipation surrounding the track. That excitement follows the continued global success of Myles Lloyd‘s breakout single “Drive Me Crazy,” which continues to reach new audiences and was recently featured as part of a collaboration between ENHYPEN and Pinterest.
Known for fusing nostalgic textures with contemporary pop production and modern R&B, the Canadian singer-songwriter has developed a sound that feels both intimate and universally relatable. Drawing inspiration from classic soul, contemporary R&B, and early-2000s pop, Lloyd creates emotionally resonant songs that speak to romantics, overthinkers, and anyone navigating the complexities of love and self-discovery.
Over the past several years, Myles Lloyd has steadily established himself as one of modern R&B’s most promising emerging voices through releases including Goodbye (2019), Forever, Yours (2022), WHAT MORE CAN I SAY? (2024), and most recently, his critically acclaimed 13-track album, I’m Still Thinking. The project offers an honest and reflective look at personal growth, documenting the journey of an artist learning to reconcile with both his past and himself.
His rise has been equally impressive beyond the studio. Lloyd has amassed more than two million monthly listeners on Spotify, collaborated with artists including BUNT. and JUNNY, and built a dedicated online following through his authentic songwriting and engaging presence. He has also performed at major festivals including Lollapalooza and Sol Blume, toured across Canada alongside JUNNY, and earned editorial recognition from Complex, PAPER, Teen Vogue, and Wonderland Magazine.
With “One Sided,” Myles Lloyd continues to showcase the emotional honesty and melodic craftsmanship that have fueled his rapid ascent. Blending vulnerable storytelling with polished production, the single further solidifies his place among the most exciting new voices shaping the future of contemporary R&B.
