Glad I Met You
Release Date: 12 April 2024
Language: English
Genre: Pop Ballad
Chaylin’s second release — her debut English single, a soaring pop ballad of healing and growth.
Layered with cinematic strings and soul-baring vocals, this emotional track captures the quiet heartbreak and strength that come with moving on. Originally written in the aftermath of personal loss, Glad I Met You is more than a breakup song — it’s a declaration of growth.
From freeways that call you forward to scars that turn into stories, every lyric in this song reflects a journey of falling, learning, and ultimately rising again.
This second chapter in the Chaylin Pop universe reveals a softer, deeper side — one that embraces imperfection and transformation.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The freeway is calling
And all I know is I’ve gotta go
Somewhere I’ve never known
Gas tank is half full
But I just need to get on the road
Just gotta be alone
[Pre-chorus 1]
I don’t think that I could stay
For a moment or a day
‘Cause I, I’m broken over you
[Chorus]
I’m only human
Burned by the shameless love of a runaway
Chasing that feeling
Back in the days when you were my favorite face
[Post-chorus]
But I’m glad that I met you
Glad that I crashed and burned with you
I’m so glad that I met you
The scars left me better
[Verse 2]
Sunset in the rearview
Between us, the distance it grows
Knew it was time to go
Against the horizon
Waiting to find me I know
Someone who feels like home
[Pre-chorus 2]
Always think it’s for the best
Not to hold on to regrets
But I, I’m holding on to you
[Chorus]
I’m only human
Burned by the shameless love of a runaway
Chasing that feeling
Back in the days when you were my favorite face
[Post-chorus]
But I’m glad that I met you
Glad that I crashed and burned with you
I’m so glad that I met you
The scars left me better
[Bridge]
Oohhh, Oohhh, Oohhh
But in a different ‘when’
Oohhh, Oohhh, Oohh
Could we play pretend?
Oohhh, Oohhh, Oohhh
But we’re in now not then
Oohhh...
[Post-chorus]
But I’m glad that I met you
Glad that I crashed and burned with you
I’m so glad that I met you
The scars left me better
[Outro]
The freeway is calling
And all I know is I’ve gotta go
Somewhere I’ve never known
