 "Just listen when I say, don’t take this the wrong way," Okabe croons over a playful, Bossa Nova-style groove. "This was such a mistake, we’re not good together." She continues to speak her truth unapologetically on the chorus. “Maybe one day I would’ve fallen for you," the rising artist sings. "And now I’m facing the truth and I just need some distance ‘cause I can’t look at your face.” It’s impossible not to get swept up in Okabe's velvety vocals as she calls it quits.

"Maybe One Day" is the first new music from Okabe since “Flashback,” her collaboration with Dalchi Yamamoto. It was preceded by the release of her acclaimed Spinning Around EP featuring three previously released singles: “Take It Further,” “Waiting Is A Waste” and “Rain” — as well as the bouncy track “Talk to Me.”

From the very beginning, Okabe commanded the attention of listeners with her cozy, gentle brand of pop. Born and raised in London before living all over the globe, she cultivated a sound all her own. In 2021, the burgeoning hitmaker released her debut album Better Days featuring celebrated singles “I’m Done” and “Walk Away.” Since then, she has continued to grow her audience, delivering tracks like “Every Second,” which has amassed over 46 million streams on Spotify alone.

Now, with “Maybe One Day,” Okabe hones her sound further, presenting the kind of polished, playful pop the makes her One To Watch in 2024.
