“It was really crazy! I was not expecting at all [this success]. To be honest, "What a Shame" would be the last song I would expect to become a hit. But that's great, it just shows that when you release a song, your job is not over. You need to keep trying, “says Leyla, about the success she has suddenly achieved.

The singer reveals that the music, like all of her other compositions, is extremely personal and has a real background. “I was clearly upset about it, and very angry. So, it was good to release the song “.

        Young singer and songwriter Leyla Blue has just broken new records in Brazil after going viral in an organic movement at TikTok with the track What A Shame, part of the EP Songs For Boys repertoire Who Didn't Text Me Back, released in November 2019. Currently the song occupies the 167 position in the Top 200 Brasil of Spotify, besides being in the second place in the Top 50 Viral of the platform.

         Now 20 years old, the singer perceives pop music as an underutilized means of communication, but capable of communicating different perspectives and awakening awareness through reactive emotions. For the young artist, who grew up in bustling New York City while learning to deal with obsessive compulsive disorder, music has always been a means of facilitating universal connections.

       On the way of composing visceral and honest that marks his style, Blue commented: "It is a strange puzzle, but when I understand something myself and I confess it, I feel stronger. I cannot control the chemical processes that occur in my brain, but I can understand them and direct them to something more productive, my OCD and eating problems are part of who I am, I’m just telling my story and I hope it can inspire others to be more open about their own stories ".

         Recently hired by Universal Music Group's Island Records label, the young artist is currently preparing for the launch of a new body of work, entitled The Blue. The project was defined as the artist's most revealing so far, described by the artist as a "diary of her deepest thoughts".

I don't understand how you got your hands
All up on that new mistake
Wait, which one was she again?
Could be dating all her friends
You know that they all look the same
And talk like: Take my picture; no, wait, redo
Might delete it, I felt kinda cute
Guess I'll never understand the thinking of a man
The only thing that's left to say
 
What a shame, baby, what a shame
Coulda been with me instead of What's-Her-Fucking-Name?
What a shame, baby, what a shame
Had a winning here, but you threw away the game
Gave you a million chances, don't get no more
Can't wait forever, I'm getting bored
What a shame, baby, what a shame
What a shame
 
You pay for all her fun, T-Pain on your tongue
But I can buy my own damn drink
Don't need smoke in summer lungs or liquor in my blood
To tell you what the fuck I think
Guy's like: What's your problem? What? Why you mad?
You should smile, you look better like that
Guess I'll never understand why guys want something bland
Over someone who's got everything
 
'Cause what a shame, baby, what a shame
Coulda been with me instead of What's-Her-Fucking-Name?
What a shame, baby, what a shame
Had a winning here, but you threw away the game
Gave you a million chances, don't get no more
Can't wait forever, I'm getting bored
What a shame, baby, what a shame
What a shame
 
Now it's four in the morning
What am I doing here?
I need to fucking leave
I could say more but
The only thing that's left to say
 
Is what a shame, baby, what a shame
Coulda been with me instead of What's-Her-Fucking-Name?
What a shame, baby, what a shame
Had a winning here but you threw away the game
Gave you a million chances, don't get no more
Can't wait forever, I'm getting bored
What a shame, baby, what a shame
What a shame.
