During his childhood he enjoyed casually playing the keyboard. Then at the age of 11 Stevie’s parents saw a glimpse of the musical talent within him and persuaded him to take piano lessons. His musical skills began to develop further and at school he acquired the nickname “The Jukebox” due to his talent in playing numerous songs. After 5 years of piano lessons, Stevie’s interest in classical music began to diminish and he started to listen to RnB and Rap music; his favourites being Will Smith, Boyz 2 Men, Dru Hill and Joe. After obtaining an A* in GCSE music, Stevie decided to take an A level in Music Technology at a collage in East London. After gaining a reputation as a promising young producer Stevie, at the age of 19, was signed to the independent record label Happnin Records.This was the first time he was given the chance to work in a professional studio and use top of the range equipment. Upon leaving the company in 2004 Stevie set up his own studio in his house. It was at this time that he began to make his best music. Gradually Stevie’s vocal techniques, producing and song writing improved significantly that when he recorded his first demo, a cover of Mario’s ‘Let Me Love You’, it received an incredible response from everyone that heard it. This motivated Stevie to start to write and produce his own songs. In late 2006 Stevie joined the social networking site MySpace. Here he gained a huge following for his music and after the encouragement from his fans Stevie officially began to record his first album in April 2007. While recording his album Stevie took influences from his Chinese ancestry to create a successful blend with modern RnB. It has always been Stevie’s ambition to become the first Oriental RnB artist in the UK. During this period his MySpace page was going from strength to strength and he was averaging over 5000 plays and 3000 new hits a day which propelled him to the top of the MySpace artist charts in both the UK and USA. He also began to appear on a number of other websites such as YouTube, where his fans would post their home made videos of his songs. Over time Stevie was attracting new fans of all races and ages. Stevie has been incredibly overwhelmed and shocked by the response to his music. On December 11th 2007, Stevie Hoang’s eagerly anticipated debut album ‘This Is Me’ was released on his own label, Stevie Hoang Productions. In the begining no one would take me seriously because of where I was from but it just made me more determined to succeed.

Stevie Hoang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's better if we don't speak at all, all, all (at all, all, all, at all, all, all)
It's better if we don't speak at all, all, all (at all, all, all, at all, all, all, at all, all, all

Now deep down inside
You know, it cuts like a knife
But I'm too proud to show it
Pain in my chest (it feels)
Like I lost my breath
But she just doesnt know it
So many things that I'm just dying to say
But I can't seem to tell her

It's killing me, to know that she wants to leave
But I'm not gonna beg her to stay (no)
Cause I got my pride, I'm not gonna cry (cry)
There won't be no tears falling from these eyes
Don't need her to see, that it's killing me
So this is what I'll say

You don't have to worry about me
Girl, I'll be fine
You don't have to call me again
Girl, it's alright
You don't have to ask me if I will be okay
Girl, I'll be fine
Girl, I'll be fine

You ain't got to tell me that we can still be friends
You ain't gotta make no excuses and pretend
Cause I'll be fine, said I'll be fine
There's no need to call

It's better if we don't speak at all, all, all (at all, all, all [x2])
It's better if we don't speak at all, all, all (at all, all, all [x3])

Now I can't believe, that I fell so deep
And I let my heart so open
Now I gotta try, to keep it inside
These words, are better left unspoken

Cause I still got my pride, I'm not gonna cry
There won't be no tears fallling from these eyes
Don't need her to see
That it's killing me
So this is what I'm saying

You don't have to worry about me
Girl, I'll be fine
You don't have to call me again
Girl, it's alright
You don't have to ask me if I will be okay
Girl, I'll be fine
Girl, I'll be fine

You ain't got to tell me that we can still be friends
You ain't gotta make no excuses and pretend
Cause I'll be fine, said I'll be fine
There's no need to call

It's better if we don't speak at all, all, all (at all, all, all [x2])
It's better if we don't speak at all, all, all (at all, all, all [x3])

Girl I'll be fine (said I'll be fine)




There's no need to call
It's better if we don't speak at all

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Stevie Hoang's song I'll Be Fine tell the story of a man who has been hurt by a breakup, but is trying to maintain his pride and not show his pain. He admits that the situation is "killing him," but he's not going to beg his ex-girlfriend to stay. Instead, he tells her that she doesn't have to worry about him, that he'll be fine, and it's better if they don't speak at all. He's trying to put on a brave face and move on from the relationship, even though he's still hurting inside.


The lyrics capture the conflicted emotions that come with a relationship ending. The singer is clearly devastated by the breakup, but he's also trying to maintain his dignity and not come off as weak or desperate. He's trying to put the needs of his ex-girlfriend first by telling her that she doesn't need to worry about him and reassuring her that he'll be fine. At the same time, he's struggling with his own pain and the desire to express it.


The song's message is one of resilience and self-reliance. It encourages listeners to take control of their emotions and not let a breakup define their self-worth. It's a reminder that it's possible to move on from a relationship and find happiness again.


Line by Line Meaning

It's better if we don't speak at all, all, all (at all, all, all, at all, all, all)
Maybe it's best if we don't talk, it might just make things worse


Now deep down inside, You know, it cuts like a knife
I am aware that this situation hurts me deeply


But I'm too proud to show it, Pain in my chest (it feels), Like I lost my breath, But she just doesnt know it
It's hard for me to express my feelings to her, I feel pain and like I'm suffocating, but I pretend like everything is fine


So many things that I'm just dying to say, But I can't seem to tell her
I have a lot on my mind that I want to say to her, but I can't seem to find the right way to say it


It's killing me, to know that she wants to leave, But I'm not gonna beg her to stay (no), Cause I got my pride, I'm not gonna cry (cry), There won't be no tears falling from these eyes, Don't need her to see, that it's killing me
It hurts to know that she wants to leave, but I am not going to beg her to stay as it goes against my pride. I won't cry in front of her and show her how much it's affecting me


So this is what I'll say, You don't have to worry about me, Girl, I'll be fine, You don't have to call me again, Girl, it's alright, You don't have to ask me if I will be okay, Girl, I'll be fine, Girl, I'll be fine
I'll tell her not to worry about me and to move on, I'll be okay on my own


You ain't got to tell me that we can still be friends, You ain't gotta make no excuses and pretend, Cause I'll be fine, said I'll be fine, There's no need to call
She doesn't have to pretend anymore and be awkward around me. She can let go and move on without having to check up on me as I'll be okay


Now I can't believe, that I fell so deep, And I let my heart so open, Now I gotta try, to keep it inside, These words, are better left unspoken
I am surprised that I allowed myself to love her deeply and now I have to keep my feelings to myself as it's better to not say anything


Cause I still got my pride, I'm not gonna cry, There won't be no tears fallling from these eyes, Don't need her to see, That it's killing me, So this is what I'm saying
I still have my pride and won't show her my weakness by crying in front of her. She doesn't need to know how much it's affecting me


Girl I'll be fine (said I'll be fine), There's no need to call, It's better if we don't speak at all
I'll be okay without her and there's no need to check up on me. Maybe it's best if we don't talk and move on separately

Man, this song.  Been years since I first heard it, but wow.  It's so damn good.  I wish stevie had a bit more exposure, the guy more than deserves to be remembered among the great RnB artists of this generation.
