Since then, the now Los Angeles-based artist has released several records showcasing her angelic voice and modern R&B stylings and amassing over 150 million streams worldwide. Released in 2017, Thuy's most commercially successful track to date, "All Night Long", had a viral resurgence in 2020 and proved that Thuy’s celestial voice and knack for earworm melodies were here to stay. The track’s viral success organically crossed over to streaming platforms and skyrocketed to widespread recognition, setting the perfect foundation for her long-awaited debut EP.
2021 marks a turning point for the relative newcomer who is quickly gaining recognition for her powerful vocals and skillful songwriting having garnered support from premier outlets and major DSPs including, Billboard, Paper, NBC, Lyrical Lemonade, Flaunt, Earmilk, Spotify’s New Music Friday, and Apple Music’s Best New Songs. Thuy advocates for being true to yourself and hopes to be a voice for those who want to feel seen. Living by the quote, "On the other side of fear, lies freedom" Thuy shares, “Now, when I do something that scares me, I only find freedom and I want others to realize that. I want my music to give people the strength to shine and inspire them to go for their dreams.”

Thuy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That only heaven can make
I pray to God everyday
That you keep that smile
Yeah, you are my dream (You are my dream)
There's not a thing I won′t do
I'll give my life up for you
And baby, everything that I have is yours
You will never go cold or hungry
I′ll be there when you′re insecure
Let you know that you're always lovely
Girl, ′cause you are the only thing that I got right now
One day when the sky is falling
I'll be standing right next to you
Right next to you
Nothing will ever come between us
′Cause I'll be standing right next to you
Right next to you
If you had my child (Yodel-lay-ah)
You would make my life complete (Yodel-lay-ah)
Just to have your eyes on little me
That′d be mine forever (Ooh)
And baby, everything that I have is yours (Oh, everything)
You will never go cold or hungry (Oh)
I'll be there when you're insecure (Insecure)
Let you know that you′re always lovely
Girl, ′cause you are the only thing that I got right now
One day when the sky is falling
I'll be standing right next to you
Right next to you (Whoa)
Nothing will ever come between us
I′ll be standing right next to you
Right next to you
We're made for one another (One another)
Me and you (And you, and you, and you)
And I have no fear
I know we′ll make it through
One day when the sky is falling
I'll be standing right next to you
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
One day when the sky is falling (When the sky is falling)
I′ll be standing right next to you (Right next to you, oh)
Right next to you (Right next to you, oh)
Nothing will ever come between us (Nothing will ever, between us)
I'll be standing right next to you
Right next to you (Right next to you)
Oh, nah, nah
Oh, yeah
Stand by my side, side, side
When the sky falls
I'll be there, I′ll be there
You′ve got that smile
That only heaven can make
I pray to God everyday
To keep you forever
Oh-oh
