The 21-year-old is among the most-streamed local artistes on Spotify in 2024, with the English-language single - from her debut album Fangirl (2024) - garnering over 44 million streams since its release in June. She also has over one million monthly listeners on Spotify, and has previously charted on the top of Spotify's Viral 50 - Global playlist. She is up against K-pop groups Aespa (Supernova) and Plave (Way 4 Luve), Thai singer Jeff Satur (Ghost) and Indonesian singer Bernadya (Satu Bulan). The MAJ, organised by the Japan Culture and Entertainment Industry Promotion Association in collaboration with Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, aims to honour musical talents from Japan, Asia and the West. The awards show will take place on May 21 and 22 at Rohm Theatre Kyoto. Song, who made her music debut in 2021 with her single Lucas, said in a press release: 'It feels extremely surreal to be part of the top five nominees in the Best Song Asia category. It would be my absolute dream and honour to take this award home, but this nomination is already such a blessing, and I am so grateful for every person that has been cheering me on.' After she started to write her own songs at 13, her love of music blossomed. In 2017, she entered the School of the Arts (Sota) to pursue her interest in the piano, which she has been playing since she was six years old. While at Sota, Song joined the school's a cappella group and a pop band, where she underwent her first vocal training. While Song enrolled in the University of the Arts Singapore in 2024, she is now taking a break from school to focus on her career. Her latest single, Fairy, was released in February 2025, and she is preparing to release her next album. She has also played shows in Singapore, as well as a sold-out South-east Asia tour in January 2025, which took her to cities like Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Jakarta and Manila.
